PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION. 

" Bartlett's Familiar Quotations " has long since 
been accepted as indispensable to every scholar and to 
every writer ; it is a book for every library and every 
household. Embodying years of labor and research on 
the part of its author, "Familiar Quotations" passed 
through nine editions, each enlarged, and attained a sale 
of three hundred thousand copies before Mr. Bartlett's 
death in 1905 at the age of eighty-five. Unrevised for 
twenty- three years, it has still remained the best book 
of the kind, though a considerable body of apothegms 
have been knocking for admittance to its classic hall of 
fame. 

In this new edition the main body of John Bartlett's 
compilation, up to the beginning of the nineteenth 
century, has been left practically unchanged ; the chief 
purpose of the revision has been to incorporate in the 
work quotations from those writers whose place in lit- 
erature has been achieved since the issue of the Ninth 
Edition in 1891./ The selections from Poe, Whittier, 
Longfellow, Lowell, and other "best writers of their day" 
have been filled out extensively, and many new authors 
are represented by passages which have met with the seal 
of popular approval and are distinctly worthy of perpet- 
uation. In this way the book has been greatly enriched. 
The attempt has been made not to admit anything which 
John Bartlett's impeccable judgment would have re- 
jected. It is not always easy for Elisha to wear the 



Vi PREFACE. 

mantle of Elijah; but it is Elisha's business to carry on 
his predecessor's work in the same spirit. 

A collection of all possible quotations which would 
satisfy that multitudinous race of folk who apply to 
the almost omniscient editors of "Notes and Queries" 
columns for aid in tracing the origin of some favorite 
quotation, half forgotten, would have to be as big as 
the Encyclopedia. In the Tenth Edition of "Familiar 
Quotations" the aim has been to maintain the high 
literary standard set by its predecessors, and ephemeral 
quotations will not be found included in its pages. 
The present editor hopes that a book which has given 
so much pleasure and proved so useful in the past may 
still find favor with those interested in the best things 
in literature.

PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION. 



Out of the old fieldes cometh al this new corne fro yere to jere, 
And out of the fresh woodes cometh al these new flowres here. 



The small thin volume, the first to bear the title of 
this collection, after passing through eight editions, 
each enlarged, now culminates in its ninth, — and with 
it, closes its tentative life. 

This extract from the Preface of the fourth edition 
is applicable to the present one : — 

" It is not easy to determine in all cases the degree 
of familiarity that may belong to phrases and sentences 
which present themselves for admission ; for what is 
familiar to one class of readers may be quite new to 
another. Many maxims of the most famous writers of 
our language, and numberless curious and happy turns 
from orators and poets, have knocked at the door, and 
it was hard to deny them. But to admit these simply 
on their own merits, without assurance that the general 
reader would readily recognise them as old friends, was 
aside from the purpose of this collection. Still, it has 
been thought better to incur the risk of erring on the 
side of fulness." 

With the many additions to the English writers, the 
present edition contains selections from the French, and 
from the wit and wisdom of the ancients. A few pas- 
sages have been admitted without a claim to familiarity, 
but solely on the ground of coincidence of thought. 



Vlll PREFACE. 

I am under great obligations to M. H. Morgan, 
Ph.D., of Harvard University, for the translation of 
Marcus Aurelius, and for the translation and selections 
from the Greek tragic writers. I am indebted to the 
kindness of Mr. Daniel W. Wilder, of Kansas, for the 
quotations from Pilpay, with contributions from Dio- 
genes Laertius, Montaigne, Burton, and Pope's Homer ; 
to Dr. William J. Kolfe for quotations from Eobert 
Browning ; to Mr. James W. McIntyre for quotations 
from Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Mrs. Browning, Eobert 
Browning, and Tennyson. And I have incurred other 
obligations to friends for here a little and there a little. 

It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the great as- 
sistance I have received from Mr. A. W. Stevens, the 
accomplished reader of the University Press, as this 
work was passing through the press. 

In withdrawing from this very agreeable pursuit, I 
beg to offer my sincere thanks to all who have assisted 
me either in the way of suggestions or by contributions ; 
and especially to those lovers of this subsidiary litera- 
ture for their kind appreciation of former editions. 

Accepted by scholars as an authoritative book of 
reference, it has grown with its growth in public esti- 
mation with each reissue. Of the last two editions 
forty thousand copies were printed, apart from the 
English reprints. The present enlargement of text 
equals three hundred and fifty pages, of the previous 
edition, and the index is increased with upwards of 
ten thousand lines.

Cupid and my Campaspe play'd 

At cards for kisses : Cupid paid. 

He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, 

His mother's doves, and team of sparrows : 

Loses them too. Then down he throws 

The coral of his lip, the rose 

Growing on 's cheek (but none knows how) 5 

With these, the crystal of his brow, 

And then the dimple on his chin : 

All these did my Campaspe win. 

At last he set her both his eyes : 

She won, and Cupid blind did rise. 

Love ! has she done this to thee ? 

What shall, alas ! become of me ?

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; 

And as imagination bodies forth 

The forms of things unknown, he poet's pen 

Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing

The throned monarch better than his crown ;

It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, 

It is an attribute to God himself ; 

And earthly power doth then show likest God's,

All the world 's a stage, ^^ 

And all the men and women merely players. 1 
They have their exits and their entrances ; 
And one man in his time plays many parts, 
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, 
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. 
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel 
And shining morning face, creeping like snail 
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, 
Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad 
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, 
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard j 
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, 
Seeking the bubble reputation 

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, 
In fair round belly with good capon lined, 
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, 
Full of wise saws and modern instances ; 
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts 
Into the lean and slipper' d pantaloon, 
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side ; 
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide 
For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, 
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes 
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, 
That ends this strange eventful history, 
Is second childishness and mere oblivion, 
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. jiid.

Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward !

Thou ever strong upon the stronger side ! 
Thou Fortune's champion that dost never fight

Grief fills the room up of my absent child, 
Xies in his bed, walks up and down with me, 
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, 
Remembers me of all his gracious parts, 
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form. Sc. 4. 

Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale 
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man. ibid. 

When Fortune means to men most good, 
She looks upon them with a threatening eye. 2 ibid.

Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up. ibid.

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, 
To throw a perfume on the violet,

Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light 
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, 
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. Sc. 2,

Now is the winter of our discontent 

Made glorious summer by this sun of York, 

And all the clouds that loured upon our house 

In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. 

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, 

Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, 

Our stem alarums changed to merry meetings, 

Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. 

Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front ; 

And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds 

To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, 

He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber 

To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. 

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, 

Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass ; 

I 5 that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty 

To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; 

I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, 

Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, 

Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time 

Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, 

And that so lamely and unfashionable 

That dogs bark at me as I halt by them, —

Lord, Lord ! methought, what pain it was to drown ! 

What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears ! 

What ugly sights of death within mine eyes ! 

Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks, 

Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon, 

Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, 

Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, 

All scattered in the bottom of the sea : 

Some lay in dead men's skulls 5 and in those holes 

Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept,

And then to breakfast with 

What appetite you have. King Henry VIII. Act in. Sc. 2. 

I have touched the highest point of all my greatness ; 

And from that full meridian of my glory 

I haste now to my setting : I shall fall 

Like a bright exhalation in the evening, 

And no man see me more. jua. 

Press not a falling man too far ! ibid. 

Farewell ! a long farewell, to all my greatness ! 

This is the state of man : to-day he puts forth 

The tender leaves of hopes ; to-morrow blossoms, 

And bears his blushing honours thick upon him ; 

The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, 

And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely 

His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, 

And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, 

Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, 

This many summers in a sea of glory, 

But far beyond my depth : my high-blown pride 

At length broke under me and now has left me, 

Weary and old with service, to the mercy 

Of a rude stream, ihat must forever hide me. 

Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye : 

I feel my heart new opened. 0, how wretched 

Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours ! 

There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, 

That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, 

More pangs and fears than wars or women have : 

And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, 

Never to hope again. md

Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice

Besides, this Duncan 
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been 
So clear in his great office, that his virtues

The deep damnation of his taking-off ;

Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed 
Upon the sightless couriers of the air, 
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, 
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur

Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd,

Thou comest in such a questionable shape

King, father, royal Dane : 0, answer me ! 

Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell 

Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death, 

Have burst their cerements ; why the sepulchre, 

Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd, 



SHAKESPEARE. 131 

Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws 
To cast thee up again. What may this mean, 
That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel 
Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon, 
Making night hideous, 1 and we fools of nature 
So horridly to shake our disposition 
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls ?

I do not set my life at a pin's fee. ibid.

And makes each petty artery in this body 
As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve. ibid

Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night, 
And for the day confin'd to fast in fires, 2 
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature 
Are burnt and purg'd away. But that I am forbid 
To tell the secrets of my prison-house, 
I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word 
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, 
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, 
Thy knotted and combined locks to part 
And each particular hair to stand an end, 
Like quills upon the fretful porpentine : 8 
But this eternal blazon must not be 
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, 0, list ! g c . 5

Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks. ibid. 

This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile 
promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look

roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other 
thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of

To be, or not to be : that is the question : 
Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
And by opposing end them ? To die : to sleep : 
No more ; and by a sleep to say we end 
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks 
That flesh is heir to, — 't is a consummation 
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep ; 
To sleep : perchance to dream : ay, there 's the rub : 
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, 
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 
Must give us pause : there 's the respect 
That makes calamity of so long life ; 
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, 
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, 
The insolence of office and the spurns 
That patient merit of the unworthy takes, 
When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin ? who would fardels * bear. 

To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 

But that the dread of something after death, 

The undiscover'd country from whose bourn 

No traveller returns, puzzles the will 

And makes us rather bear those ills we have 

Than fly to others that we know not of ? 

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all ; 

And thus the native hue of resolution 

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, 

And enterprises of great pith and moment 

With this regard their currents turn awry, 

And lose the name of action. Hamlet. Act Hi. Sc. 1

Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, 
but use all gently ; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, 
as I may say, the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire 
and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. 
Oh, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig- 
pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to 
split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part 
are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and 
noise. I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing 
Termagant ; it out-herods Herod. Hamlet. Act Hi. Sc. 2.

That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter, 

It is most true ; true, T have married her : 

The very head and front of my offending

Their dearest action in the tented field, 

And little of this great world can I speak, 

More than pertains to feats of broil and battle, 

And therefore little shall I grace my cause 

In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience, 

I will a round un varnish' d tale deliver 

Of my whole course of love. Othtllo. Act L Sc. & 

Her father loved me ; oft invited me ; 

Still question'd me the story of my life, 

From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, 

That I have passed. 

[ ran it through, even from my boyish days, 

To the very moment that he bade me tell it : 

Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances, 

Of moving accidents by flood and field, 

Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach, 

Of being taken by the insolent foe 

And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence 

And portance in my travels' history ; 

Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle, 

Rough quarries, rocks and hills whose heads touch heaven, 

It was my hint to speak, — such was the process ; 

And of the Cannibals that each other eat, 

The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads 

Do grow beneath their shoulders. This to hear * 

Would Desdemona seriously incline. jbia. 

And often did beguile her of her tears, 

When I did speak of some distressful stroke 

That my youth suffer'd. My story being done, 

She gave me for my pains a world of sighs ; 

She swore, in faith, 't was strange, 't was passing strange, 

'T was pitiful, 't was wondrous pitiful ; 

She wish'd she had not heard it, yet she wish'd 

That Heaven had made her such a man ; she thank'd me, 

And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her, 

1 " These things to heai* "in Singer. 



SHAKESPEARE. 151 

I should but teach him how to tell my story, 

Aud that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake : 

She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd, 

And I loved her that she did pity them. 

This only is the witchcraft I have used.

But I do love thee ! and when I love thee not, 

Chaos is come again. 1 Othello. Act Hi. Sc. 3. 



Speak to me as to thy thinkings, 
As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts 
The worst of words. ibid. 

Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, 

Is the immediate jewel of their souls : 

Who steals my purse steals trash ; 't is something, 

nothing ; 
'T was mine, 't is his, and has been slave to thousands ; 
But he that niches from me my good name 
Robs me of that which not enriches him 
And makes me poor indeed. ibid. 

0, beware, my lord, of jealousy !

O curse of marriage, 
That we can call these delicate creatures ours, 
And not their appetites ! I had rather be a toad, 
And live upon the vapour of a dungeon,

Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,

Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war !

by way of amends to be a help and ornament thereunto.

vantage-ground of truth. Of Truth. 

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; 
and as that natural fear in children is increased with 
tales, so is the other. Of Death. 

Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more 
man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it 

OUt. Of Revenge. 

It was a high speech of Seneca (after the manner of 
the Stoics), that " The good things which belong to pros- 
perity are to be wished, but the good things that belong 
to adversity are to be admired." Of Adversity. 

It is yet a higher speech of his than the other, " It is 
true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and 
the security of a god." ibid. 

Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament ; ad- 
versity is the blessing of the New. ibid. 

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes ; 
and adversity is not without comforts and hopes. ibid.

Virtue is like precious odours, — most fragrant when 
they are incensed or crushed. 1 Of Adversity. 

He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to 
fortune ; for they are impediments to great enterprises,

Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for 
middle age, and old men's nurses. 2 ibid. 

Men in great place are thrice servants, — servants of 
the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of 

business. , Of Great Place. 

Mahomet made the people believe that he would call 
a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers 
for the observers of his law. The people assembled. 
Mahomet called the hill to come to him, again and again ; 
and when the hill stood still he was never a whit abashed, 
but said, " If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Maho- 
met will go to the hill." Of Boldness.

I had rather believe all the fables in the legends and

A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, 
but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to 
religion. 1 ibid. 

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education ; in 
the elder, a part of experience. He that travelleth into 
a country before he hath some entrance into the language, 
goeth to school, and not to travel. of Travel. 

Princes are like to heavenly bodies, which cause good 
or evil times, and which have much veneration but no 

rest. 2 Of Empire. 

In things that a man would not be seen in himself, it 
is a point of cunning to borrow the name of the world ; 
as to say, "The world says," or "There is a speech 

abroad." Of Cunning. 

There is a cunning which we in England call " the 
turning of the cat in the pan ; " which is, when that 
which a man says to another, he lays it as if another had

1 As in the little, so in the great world, reason will tell you that old age 
or antiquity is to be accounted by the farther distance from the beginning 
and the nearer approach to the end, — the times wherein we now live being 
in propriety of speech the most ancient since the world's creation. — George 
Hakewill : An Apologie or Declaration of the Power and Providence of 
God in the Government of the World. London, 1627. 

For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does 
not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the 
times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it ? — Pascal : 
Preface to the Treatise on Vacuum. 

It is worthy of remark that a thought which is often quoted from Francis 
Bacon occurs in [Giordano] Bruno's " Cena di Cenere," published in 1584 :

into guiltlessness; guiltlessness into abstemiousness; abstemiousness into 
clean'iness ; cleanliness into godliness," — literally, next to godliness. 

2 Whose life is a bubble, and in length a span. — Browne: Pastoral it.

Like seasoned timber, never gives. 

Like summer friends, 
Flies of estate and sunneshine.

Makes drudgery divine ; 
Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws 

Makes that and th' action fine.

I am, sir, a Brother of the Angle. j^. 

It [angling] deserves commendations; ... it is an 
art worthy the knowledge and practice of a wise man. 

Ibid. 

Angling is somewhat like poetry, — men are to be 
born so - ■ Ibid. 

Doubt not but angling will prove to be so pleasant 
that it will prove to be, like virtue, a reward to itself. 1 

ibid. 

Sir Henry Wotton was a most dear lover and a fre- 
quent practiser of the Art of Angling; of which he 
would say, " 'T was an employment for his idle time, 
which was then not idly spent, a rest to his mind, a 
cheerer of his spirits, a diverter of sadness, a calmer of 
unquiet thoughts, a moderator of passions, a procurer of 
*contentedness ; " and " that it begat habits of peace and 
patience in those that professed and practised it." ibid. 

You will find angling to be like the virtue of humility, 
which has a calmness of spirit and a world of other 
blessings attending upon it. j^id.

say, " That which is everybody's business is nobody's

No man can lose what he never had. chap. v. 

We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler * said of straw- 
berries : " Doubtless God could have made a better 
berry, but doubtless God never did ; " and so, if I might 
be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, inno- 
cent recreation than angling. jbid. 

Thus use your frog : put your hook — I mean the 
arming wire — through his mouth and out at his gills, 
and then with a fine needle and silk sew the upper part 
of his leg with only one stitch to the arming wire of 
your hook, or tie the frog's leg above the upper joint to 
the armed wire ; and in so doing use him as though you 
loved him. chap. 8. 

This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or

Call to the soul when man doth sleep, 

So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes,

Keep clean, bear fruit, earn life, and watch

Such labour'd nothings, in so strange a style, 
Amaze th' unlearn'd and make the learned smile. 

Essay on Criticism. Part ii. Line 126 

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, 

Alike fantastic if too new or old : 

Be not the first by whom the new are tried, 

Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. Line 133 

Some to church repair, 
Not for the doctrine, but the music there. 
These equal syllables alone require, 
Though oft the ear the open vowels tire ; 
While expletives their feeble aid to join, 
And ten low words oft creep in one dull line. Line 142, 

A needless Alexandrine ends the song. 

That like a wounded snake drags its slow length along. 

Line 156, 

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, 

As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance. 

'T is not enough no harshness gives offence, — 

The sound must seem an echo to the sense. Line 162 

Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows, 

And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows ; 

But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, 

The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar. 

When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, 

The line too labours, and the words move slow: 

Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain, 

Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main. 

Line 166. 

Yet let not each gay turn thy rapture move ; 

For fools admire, but men of sense approve. Line 190 

But let a lord once own the happy lines, 

How the wit brightens ! how the style refines ! Line 220 

Envy will merit as its shade pursue, 

But like a shadow proves the substance true. Line 266,

A pleasing land of drowsyhed it was, 
Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye ; 
And of gay castles in the clouds that pass, 
Forever flushing round a summer sky : 
There eke the soft delights that witchingly 
Instil a wanton sweetness through the breast, 
And the calm pleasures always hover'd nigh ; 
But whate'er smack'd of noyance or unrest 
Was far, far off expell'd from this delicious nest.

You cannot rob me of free Nature's grace, 
You cannot shut the windows of the sky 
Through which Aurora shows her brightening face ; 
You cannot bar my constant feet to trace 

The woods and lawns, by living stream, at eve : 
Let health my nerves and finer fibres brace, 
And I their toys to the great children leave : 
Of fancy, reason, virtue, naught can me bereave.

370 JOHNSON. 

Sir, lie [Bolingbroke] was a scoundrel and a coward; 
a scoundrel for charging a blunderbuss against religion 
and morality ; a coward, because lie had not resolution 
to fire it off himself, but left half a crown to a beggarly 
Scotchman to draw the trigger at his death. 

Life of Johnson (Boswell). Vol. ii. Chap. i. 1754. 

Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks with unconcern 
on a man struggling for life in the water, and when he 
has reached ground encumbers him with help ? 

Chap. ii. 1755. 

I am glad that he thanks God for anything. ibid. 

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he ad- 
vances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. 
A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant 
repair. md. 

Being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of 
being drowned. chap. Hi. 1759. 

Sir, I think all Christians, whether Papists or Protes- 
tants, agree in the essential articles, and that their differ- 
ences are trivial, and rather political than religious. 1 

Chap. v. 1763. 

The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is 
the high-road that leads him to England. jbid. 

If he does really think that there is no distinction be- 
tween virtue and vice, why, sir, when he leaves our houses 
let us count our spoons. ibid 

Sir, your levellers wish to level down as far as them- 
selves ; but they cannot bear levelling up to themselves. 

Ibid 

1 I do not find that the age or country makes the least difference ; no, nor 
the language the actor spoke, nor the religion which they professed, — 
whether Arab in the desert, or Frenchman in the Academy. I see that 
sensible men and conscientious men all over the world were of one religion 
of well-doing: and daring. — Emerson: The Preacher. Lectures and Bio- 
graphical Sketches, p. 215. 



JOHNSON, 371 

A man ought to read just as inclination leads him ; foi 
what he reads as a task will do him little good. 

Life of Johnson (Boswell). Vol. ii. Chap. vl. 1763. 

Sherry is dull, naturally dull ; but it must have taken 
him a great deal of pains to become what we now see 
him. Such an access of stupidity, sir, is not in Nature. 

Chap. ix. 

Sir, a woman preaching is like a dog's walking on his 
hind legs. It is not done well ; but you are surprised 
to find it done at all. ibid. 

I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly 
will hardly mind anything else. 1 ibid. 

This was a good dinner enough, to be sure, but it was 

not a dinner to ask a man to. ibid. 

A very unclubable man. ibid. 1764. 

I do not know, sir, that the fellow is an infidel ; but if 
he be an infidel, he is an infidel as a dog is an infidel ; 
that is to say, he has never thought upon the subject. 

Vol. Hi. Chap. Hi. 1769. 

It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives.

A cow is a very good animal in the field ; but we turn 
her out of a garden. ibid. 

Much may be made of a Scotchman if he be caught 
young. ibid. 

A man may write at any time if he will set himself

Let him go abroad, to a distant country ; let him go to 
some place where he is not known. Don't let him go to 
the devil, where he is known.

I never take a nap after dinner but when I have had 
a bad night ; and then the nap takes me. 

Vol. vi. Chap, u 1775. 

In lapidary inscriptions a man is not upon oath. ibid. 

There is now less flogging in our great schools than 
formerly, — but then less is learned there ; so that what 
the boys get at one end they lose at the other. ibid. 

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man 
by which so much happiness is produced as by a good 
tavern or inn. 8 chap. Hi. 1776.

Vol. vh. Chap. Hi. 1778. 

Johnson had said that he could repeat a complete chap- 
ter of " The Natural History of Iceland," from the Danish 
of Horrebow, the whole of which was exactly (Ch. lxxii. 
Concerning snakes) thus: "There are no snakes to be 
met with throughout the whole island." x Chap. iv. 1778. 

■ As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would brin^ 
home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of 
the Indies with him," so it is in travelling, — a man 
must carry knowledge with him if he would bring home 
knowledge. chap. v. ms 

The true, strong, and sound mind is the mind that can 
Bmbrace equally great things and small. chap. m. i~78.

field," which he was afterwards fool enough to expunge : 
" I do not love a man who is zealous for nothing." . . , 

1 Chapter xlii. is still shorter : "There are no owls of any kind in the 
whole island." 



374 JOHNSON. 

There was another tine passage too which he struck out: 
ik When I was a young man, being anxious to distinguish 
myself, 1 was perpetually starting new propositions. 
But I soon gave this over; for I found that generally 
what was new was false." 

Life of Johnson (Boswell). Vol. vii. Chap. via. 1779 

Claret is the liquor for boys, port for men; but he 
who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy. ibid.

Elegy in a Country Churchyard. Stanza 26 

One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, 
Along the heath, and near his fav'rite tree : 

Another came ; nor yet beside the rill, 

Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he. Stanza 28. 

Here rests his head upon the lap of earth, 

A youth to fortune and to fame unknown : 
Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth, 

And Melancholy mark'd him for her own. 1 

The Epitaph.

Heaven did a recompense as largely send : 
He gave to mis'ry (all he had) a tear,

To sweet repast and calm repose. Line 87

From busy day the peaceful night ;

Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, 

My heart untravell'd fondly turns to thee ; 

Still to my brother turns with ceaseless pain, 

And drags at each remove a lengthening chain. Line 7. 

And learn the luxury of doing good. 1 Line 22 

Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view.

Creation's heir, the world, the world is mine ! Line so. 

Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam, — 

His first, best country ever is at home. Line 73. 

Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, 
And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.

The Deserted Village. Line 29. 

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, 

Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. 

Princes and lords may nourish or may fade, — 

A breath can make them, as a breath has made ; 1 

But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, 

When once destroy'd, can never be supplied, v Line 51

And his best riches, ignorance of wealth. Line 6i.

And all his prospects brightening to the last,

And passing rich with forty pounds a year. Line ui. 

Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, 
Shoulder'd his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won. 

Line 157. 

Careless their merits or their faults to scan, 

His pity gave ere charity began. 

Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, 

And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's side. Line iei 

And as a bird each fond endearment tries 

To tempt its new-fledg'd offspring to the skies, 

He tried each art, reprov'd each dull delay, 

Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way. Line m.

Even children follow'd with endearing wile, 

And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.

As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, 
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm, — 
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, 
Eternal sunshine settles on its head. Line i89< 

Well had the boding tremblers learn' d to trace 

The day's disasters in his morning face ; 

Full well they laugh'd with counterfeited glee 

At all his jokes, for many a joke had he ; 

Eull well the busy whisper circling round 

Convey'd the dismal tidings when he frown'd. 

Yet was he kind, or if severe in aught, 

The love he bore to learning was in fault ; 

The village all declar'd how much he knew, 

'T was certain he could write and cipher too. Line 199. 

In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill, 

For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still ; 

While words of learned length and thundering sound 

Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around ; 

And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew 

That one small head could carry all he knew. Line 209. 

Where village statesmen talk'd with looks profound, 
And news much older than their ale went round. 

Line 223. 

The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, 

The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door ;

To me more dear, congenial to my heart, 

One native charm, than all the gloss of art. Line 253. 

And e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, 

The heart distrusting asks if this be joy. Line 263. 

Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, 

Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Line 329. 

Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they go, 

Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe. Lint 344. 

In all the silent manliness of grief. Line 384. 

Luxury ! thou curst by Heaven's decree ! Line 385. 

Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, 

That found'st me poor at first, and keep'st me so. 

Line 413. 

Such dainties to them, their health it might hurt ; 
It 's like sending them ruffles when wanting a shirt. 2 

The Haunch of Venison. 

As aromatic plants bestow 
No spicy fragrance while they grow ; 
But crush'd or trodden to the ground, 
Diffuse their balmy sweets around. 3 

The Captivity. Act i. 

To the last moment of his breath, 

On hope the wretch relies ; 
And even the pang preceding death 

Bids expectation rise. 4 Acta. 

1 The twelve good rules were ascribed to King Charles I.: 1. Urge no 
healths. 2. Profane no divine ordinances. 3. Touch no state matters. 
4. Reveal no secrets. 5. Pick no quarrels. 6. Make no comparisons. 
T. Maintain no ill opinions. 8. Keep no bad company. 9. Encouraee no 
vice. 10. Make no long meals. 11. Repeat no grievances. 12. Lay no 
wafers. 

2 See Tom Brown, pae:e 286.

Bids expectation rise.

political doctor, " to consider peace only as a breathing- 
time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes 
ability to execute military plans." A meditation on the

that war was the state of nature. '

It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the

and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly 
seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her 
just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the ele-

the morning star full of life and splendour and joy.

such disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, 
— in a nation of men of honour and of cavaliers. I

Lord Campbell (" Lives of the Chief Justices," vol. ii. p. 418) says 
that " Lord Mansfield first established the grand doctrine that the air of 
England is too pure to be breathed by a slave." The words attributed 
to Lord Mansfield, however, are not found in his judgment. They are 
in Margrave's argument, May 14, 1772, where he speaks of England as 
"a soil whose air is deemed too pure for slaves to breathe in." — Lofft :

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most me- 
morable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to 
believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding genera- 
tions as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be 
commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts 
of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized

JEFFERSON. 435 

Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state 
or persuasion, religious or political ; peace, commerce, 
and honest friendship with all nations, — entangling alli- 
ances with none ; the support of the State governments 
in all their rights, as the most competent administrations 
for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against 
anti-republican tendencies ; the preservation of the gen- 
eral government in its whole constitutional vigour, as the 
sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad ; . . . 
freedom of religion ; freedom of the press ; freedom of 
person under the protection of the habeas corpus ; and 
trial by juries impartially selected, — these principles 
form the bright constellation which has gone before us, 
and guided our steps through an age of revolution and 

reformation. First Inaugural Address. March 4, 1801. 

In the full tide of successful experiment. ibid. 

Of the various executive abilities, no one excited more 
anxious concern than that of placing the interests of our 
fellow-citizens in the hands of honest men, with under- 
standing sufficient for their stations. 1 No duty is at the 
same time more difficult to fulfil. The knowledge of 
character possessed by a single individual is of necessity 
limited. To seek out the best through the whole Union, 
we must resort to the information which from the best 
of men, acting disinterestedly and with the purest mo- 
tives, is sometimes incorrect. 

Letter to Elias Shipman and others of New Haven, July 12, 1801. 

If a due participation of office is a matter of right, 
how are vacancies to be obtained ? Those by death are 
few ; by resignation, none. 2 ibid. 

1 This passage is thus paraphrased by John B. McMaster in his " History 
of the People of the United States " (ii. 586) : " One sentence will undoubt- 
edly be remembered till our republic ceases to exist. ' No duty the Execu- 
tive had to perform was so trying,' he observed, ' as to put the right man in 
the right place.' " 

2 Usually quoted, " Few die and none resign."

If you choose to represent the various parts in life by 
holes upon a table, of different shapes, — some circular, 
some triangular, some square, some oblong, — and the 
persons acting these parts by bits of wood of similar 
shapes, we shall generally find that the triangular person 
has got into the square hole, the oblong into the tri- 
angular, and a square person has squeezed himself into 
the round hole. The officer and the office, the doer and 
the thing done, seldom fit so exactly that we can say 
they were almost made for each other. 3

Such is the custom of Branksome Hall. 

Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto i. Stanza 7. 

If thou would'st view fair Melrose aright, 

Go visit it by the pale moonlight. Canto a. Stanza 1. 

fading honours of the dead ! 

high ambition, lowly laid ! 

1 was not always a man of woe. 

I cannot tell how the truth may be ; 
I say the tale as 't was said to me. 

In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed ; 

In war, he mounts the warrior's steed ; 

In halls, in gay attire is seen ; 

In hamlets, dances on the green. 

Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, 

And men below and saints above ; 

For love is heaven, and heaven is love. 

Her blue eyes sought the west afar, 
For lovers love the western star. 

Along thy wild and willow'd shore. 

Ne'er 
Was flattery lost on poet's ear ; 
A simple race ! they waste their toil 
For the vain tribute of a smile. Stanza 35 



Canto iii. Stanza 1. 

Stanza 24. 
Canto iv. Stanza 1. 



488 SCOTT. 

Call it not vain : they do not err 
Who say that when the poet dies 
Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, 
And celebrates his obsequies. 

Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto v. Stanza 1 

True love 's the gift which God has given 
To man alone beneath the heaven : 
It is not fantasy's hot fire, 

Whose wishes soon as granted fly ; 
It liveth not in fierce desire, 

With dead desire it doth not die ; 
It is the secret sympathy, 
The silver link, the silken tie, 
Which heart to heart and mind to mind 
In body and in soul can bind. Stanza 13. 

Breathes there the man with soul so dead 
Who never to himself hath said, 

This is my own, my native land ! 
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd 1 
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd 

From wandering on a foreign strand ? 
If such there breathe, go, mark him well ! 
For him no minstrel raptures swell ; 
High though his titles, proud his name, 
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, — 
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, 
The wretch, concentred all in self, 
Living, shall forfeit fair renown, 
And, doubly dying, shall go down 
To the vile dust from whence he sprung, 
Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung. 2 Canto vi. Stanza i. 

1 Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us b} r the way ? — 
Luke xxiv. 32. 

Hath not thy heart within thee burned 
At evening's calm and holy hour ? 

S. G. Bulfinch: The Voice of God in the Garden. 
* See Pope, page 341. 



SCOTT. 489 

Caledonia ! stern and wild, 

Meet nurse for a poetic child ! 

Land of brown heath and shaggy wood ; 

Land of the mountain and the flood ! 

Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto vi. Stanza 2. 

Profan'd the God-given strength, and niarr'd the lofty line. 

Marmion. Introduction to Canto i. 

Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, 
When thought is speech, and speech is truth. 

Introduction to Canto it. 
When, musing on companions gone, 
We doubly feel ourselves alone. ibid, 

'T is an old tale and often told ; 

But did my fate and wish agree, 
Ne'er had been read, in story old, 
Of maiden true betray'd for gold, 

That loved, or was avenged, like me. Stanza 27 

When Prussia hurried to the field, 

And snatch' d the spear, but left the shield. 1 

Introduction to Canto in. 

In the lost battle, 

Borne down by the flying, 
Where mingles war's rattle 

With groans of the dying. stanza n 

Where 's the coward that would not dare 

To fight for SUCh a land ? Canto iv. Stanza 30, 

Lightly from fair to fair he flew, 

And loved to plead, lament, and sue ; 

Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, 

For monarchs seldom sigh in vain. Canto v. Stanza 9. 

With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye. 2 

Stanza 12. 

But woe awaits a country when 

She sees the tears of bearded men. Stanza 16

2 Reproof on her lips, but a smile in her eye. — Lover : Rory 0' More- 



490 SCOTT. 

And dar'st thou then 
To beard the lion in his den, 

The Douglas in his hall ? Marmion. Canto vi. Stanza 14. 

Oh what a tangled web we weave, 

When first we practise to deceive ! Stanza 17. 

O woman ! in our hours of ease 

Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, 

Aud variable as the shade 

By the light quivering aspen made ; 

When pain and anguish wring the brow, 

A ministering angel thou ! 1 Stanza 30 

" Charge, Chester, charge ! on, Stanley, on ! " 

Were the last words of Marmion. Stanza 32. 

Oh for a blast of that dread horn 2 

On Fontarabian echoes borne ! Stanza 33. 

To all, to each, a fair good-night, 

And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light. 

V Envoy. To the Reader. 

In listening mood she seemed to stand, 
The guardian Naiad of the strand. 

Lady of the Lake. Canto i. Stanza 17. 

And ne'er did Grecian chisel trace 

A Nymph, a Naiad, or a Grace 

Of finer form or lovelier face. Stanza 18. 

1 See Shakespeare, page 144. 

Scott, writing to Southey in 1810, said: "A witty rogue the other 
day, who sent me a letter signed Detector, proved me guilty of stealing a 
passage from one of Vida's Latin poems, which I had never seen or heard 
of." The passage alleged to be stolen ends with, — 

When pain and anguish wring the brow, 
A ministering angel thou! " 
which in Vida " ad Eranen," El. ii. v. 21, ran, — 

"Cum dolor atque supercilio gravis imminet angor, 
Fungeris angelico sola ministerio." 
"It is almost needless to add," says Mr. Lockhart, "there are no such 
lines." — Life of Scott, vol. Hi. p. 294. (American edition.) 

2 Oh for the voice of that wild horn ! — Rob Roy, chap. ii.

A foot more light, a step more true, 

Ne'er from the heath-flower dash'd the dew. 

Lady of the Lake. Canto i. Stanza IS 

On his bold visage middle age 

Had slightly press'd its signet sage, 

Yet had not quench' d the open truth 

And fiery vehemence of youth : 

Forward and frolic glee was there, 

The will to do, the soul to dare. Stanza ji. 

Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, 

Morn of toil nor night of waking. Stanza 31. 

Hail to the chief who in triumph advances ! 

Canto ii. Stanza 19, 

Some feelings are to mortals given 
With less of earth in them than heaven. 



Time rolls his ceaseless course. 



Stanza 22 



Canto in. Stanza 1. 



Like the dew on the mountain, 

Like the foam on the river, 
Like the bubble on the fountain, 

Thou art gone, and forever ! stanza m 

The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, 

And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. 

The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, 
And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears. 

Canto iv. Stanza 1. 

Art thou a friend to Eoderick ? 



Come one, come all ! this rock shall fly 
From its firm base as soon as I. 

And the stern joy which warriors feel 
In foemen worthy of their steel. 

Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, 
Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain ! 
Vain as the leaf upon the stream, 
And fickle as a changeful dream ;

Oh who would wish to be thy king ! 

Lady of the Lake. Canto v. Stanza 30. 

Where, where was Koderick then ? 
One blast upon his bugle horn 

Were worth a thousand men. Canto vu Stanza 18. 

In man's most dark extremity 
Oft succour dawns from Heaven. 

Lord of the Isles. Canto i. Stanza 20 

Spangling the wave with lights as vain 
As pleasures in the vale of pain, 

That dazzle as they fade. Stanza 23. 

Oh, many a shaft at random sent 

Finds mark the archer little meant ! 

And many a word at random spoken 

May soothe, or wound, a heart that 's broken ! 

Canto v. Stanza 18. 

Where lives the man that has not tried 
How mirth can into folly glide, 

And folly into sin ! Bridal of Triermain. Canto i. Stanza 21. 

Still are the thoughts to memory dear. 

Rokeby. Canto i. Stanza 32. 

A mother's pride, a father's joy. Canto Hi. Stanza 15. 

Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, 

And Greta woods are green, 
And you may gather garlands there 

Would grace a summer's queen. Stanza 16. 

Thus aged men, full loth and slow, 

The vanities of life forego, 

And count their youthful follies o'er, 

Till Memory lends her light no more. Canto v. Stanza i

We were the first that ever bnrst 

Into that silent sea. p a n a. 

As idle as a painted ship 

Upon a painted ocean. ibid. 

Water, water, everywhere, 

Nor any drop to drink. md. 

Without a breeze, without a tide, 

She steadies with upright keel. p ar t Hi. 

The nightmare Life-in-Death was she. ibid. 

The sun's rim dips ; the stars rush out : 

At one stride comes the dark ; 

With far-heard whisper o'er the sea, 

Off shot the spectre-bark. ibid. 

And thou art long and lank and brown, 

As is the ribbed sea-sand. 2 p ar t iv. 

Alone, alone, — all, all alone ; 

Alone on a wide, wide sea. ibid. 

The moving moon went up the sky,

A spring of love gush'd from my heart,

Beloved from pole to pole. 

The Ancient Mariner. Part v. 

A noise like of a hidden brook 

In the leafy month of June, 

That to the sleeping woods all night 

Singeth a quiet tune. ibid. 

Like one that on a lonesome road 

Both walk in fear and dread, 

And having once turned round walks on, 

And turns no more his head,

Alas ! they had been friends in youth ; 

But whispering tongues can poison truth, 

And constancy lives in realms above ; 

And life is thorny, and youth is vain, 

And to be wroth with one we love 

Doth work like madness in the brain. ibid, 

They stood aloof, the scars remaining, — 
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder :

Forth from his dark and lonely hiding-place

The grand old ballad of Sir Patrick Spence. 

Dejection. An Ode. Stanza I 

Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. 

We in ourselves rejoice ! 
And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, 

All melodies the echoes of that voice, 
All colours a suffusion from that light. Stanzas. 

A mother is a mother still, 

The holiest thing alive. The Three Graves. 

Never, believe me, 

Appear the Immortals, 

Never alone. The Visit of the Gods. (Imitated from Schiller.) 

Joy rises in me, like a summer's morn. 

A Christmas Carol, tiii, 

The knight's bones are dust, 

And his good sword rust; 

His soul is with the saints, I trust. The Knight's Tomb 

It sounds like stories from the land of spirits 
If any man obtains that which he merits, 
Or any merit that which he obtains. 

Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends ! 

Hath he not always treasures, always friends, 

The good great man ? Three treasures, — love and light; 

And calm thoughts, regular as infants' breath ; 

And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, — 

Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death. 

Complaint. Ed. 1852. The Good Great Man. Ed. 1893.

COLERIDGE. 503 

Nought cared this body for wind or weather 

When youth and I lived in 't together. Youth and Age. 

Flowers are lovely ; love is flower-like ; 
Friendship is a sheltering tree ; 
Oh the joys that came down shower-like, 
Of friendship, love, and liberty, 

Ere I was old ! ibid. 

I have heard of reasons manifold 
Why Love must needs be blind, 

But this the best of all I hold, — 
His eyes are in his mind. 1

But what within is good and fair

The river Rhine, it is well known, 

Doth wash your city of Cologne ;

Nothing before and nothing behind but the sky and 

the ocean.

Remorse. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

The intelligible forms of ancient poets, 

The fair humanities of old religion, 

The power, the beauty, and the majesty

Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, 

Or chasms and watery depths, — all these have vanished ; 

They live no longer in the faith of reason.

COLERIDGE. — QUINCY. 505 

Reviewers are usually people who would have been 
poets, historians, biographers, if they could ; they have 
tried their talents at one or the other, and have failed ; 
therefore they turn critics. 1

Schiller has the material sublime. Table Talk. 

I wish our clever young poets would remember my 
homely definitions of prose and poetry ; that is, prose, — 
words in their best order ; poetry, — the best words in 
their best order. j^. 

That passage is what I call the sublime dashed to 
pieces by cutting too close with the fiery four-in-hand

If this bill [for the admission of Orleans Territory as 
a State] passes, it is my deliberate opinion that it is 
virtually a dissolution of the Union ; that it will free the 
States from their moral obligation ; and, as it will be the 
right of all, so it will be the duty of some, definitely to 
prepare for a separation, — amicably if they can, violently 
if they must. 2

art. — Disraeli: Lothair, chap. xxxv.

My only books 
Were woman's looks, — 
And folly 's all they 've taught me. ibid. 

I know not, I ask not, if guilt 's in that heart, 
I but know that I love thee whatever thou art. 

Come, rest in this Bosom. 

To live and die in scenes like this, 
With some we 've left behind us. 

As slow our Ship. 

Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free, 
First flower of the earth and first gem of the sea. 

Remember Thee, 

All that 's bright must fade, — 
The brightest still the fleetest ; 

All that 's sweet was made 
But to be lost when sweetest. 

All that '5 Bright must fade 



MOORE. 523 

Those evening bells ! those evening bells i 
How many a tale their music tells 
Of youth and home, and that sweet time 
When last I heard their soothing chime ! 

Those Evening Bells. 
Oft in the stilly night, 

Ere slumber's chain has bound me, 
Fond memory brings the light 
Of other days around me ; 
The smiles, the tears, 
Of boyhood's years, 
The words of love then spoken ; 
The eyes that shone 
Now dimmed and gone, 

The cheerful hearts now broken. 

Oft in the Stilly Night. 

I feel like one 

Who treads alone 
Some banquet-hall deserted, 

Whose lights are fled, 

Whose garlands dead, 
And all but he departed. ibid. 

As half in shade and half in sun 
This world along its path advances, 

May that side the sun 's upon 

Be all that e'er shall meet thy glances ! 

Peace be around Thee. 

If I speak to thee in friendship's name, 

Thou think'st I speak too coldly ; 
If I mention love's devoted flame, 

Thou say'st I speak too boldly. How shall 1 woo* 

A friendship that like love is warm ; 

A love like friendship, steady. Bid, 

The bird let loose in Eastern skies, 

Returning fondly home, 
Ne'er stoops to earth her wing, nor flies 

Where idle warblers roam ; 



524 MOORE. 

But high she shoots through air and light, 

Above all low delay, 
Where nothing earthly bounds her night, 

Nor shadow dims her way. oh that 1 had Wing* 

This world is all a fleeting show, 

For man's illusion given ; 
The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, 
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow, — 

There 's nothing true but Heaven. 

This World is all a fleeting Show. 

Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea ! 
Jehovah has triumph'd, — his people are free. 

Sound the loud Timbrel. 

As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean 
Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, 

So deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion, 
Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee. 

As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, 
The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea, 

So dark when I roam in this wintry world shrouded, 
The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee. 

The Heart's Prayer. 

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish ; 
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 

Come, ye Disconsolate. 

Oh call it by some better name, 
For friendship sounds too cold. 

Oh call it by some better Name 

When twilight dews are falling soft 

Upon the rosy sea, love, 
I watch the star whose beam so oft 

Has lighted me to thee, love. 

When Twilight Dews. 



MOORE. 525 

I give thee all, — I can no more, 

Though poor the off'ring be ; 
My heart and lute are all the store 

That I can bring to thee. 1 

My Heart and Lute 

Who has not felt how sadly sweet 

The dream of home, the dream of home, 

Steals o'er the heart, too soon to fleet, 
When far o'er sea or land we roam ? 

The Dream of Home. 

To Greece we give our shining blades. 

Evenings in Greece, First Evening. 

When thus the heart is in a vein 

Of tender thought, the simplest strain 

Can touch it with peculiar power. ibid 

If thou would'st have me sing and play 

As once I play'd and sung, 
First take this time-worn lute away, 

And bring one freshly strung. 

If Thou would'st have Me sing and play 

To sigh, yet feel no pain ; 

To weep, yet scarce know why ; 
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain, 

Then throw it idly by. The Blue Stocking. 

Ay, down to the dust with them, slaves as they are ! 

From this hour let the blood in their dastardly veins, 
That shrunk at the first touch of Liberty's war, 

Be wasted for tyrants, or stagnate in chains.

Oh, ever thus, from childhood's hour, . 

1 've seen my fondest hopes decay ; 
I never loved a tree or flower 

But 't was the first to fade away. 
I never nurs'd a dear gazelle, 

To glad me with its soft black eye, 
But when it came to know me well 

And love me, it was Sure to die. The Fire- Worshippers. 

Oh for a tongue to curse the slave

Alas ! how light a cause may move

Yet in a sunny hour fall off,

leaves his native shore, and the first to gladden his who 
revisits it, may be something which shall remind him of

When a new planet swims into his ken ; 
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes 

He stared at the Pacific, and all his men 
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise, 

Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

Walk freely as the waves that beat 
Our coast. New England. 

On thy fair bosom, silver lake, 

The wild swan spreads his snowy sail, 

And round his breast the ripples break 
As down he bears before the gale.

For the winds and waves are absent there, 

And the sands are bright as the stars that glow 
In the motionless fields of upper air.

THOMAS CARLYLE. 1795-1881. 

Except by name, Jean Paul Friedrich Richter is little 
known out of Germany. The only thing connected with 
him, we think, that has reached this country is his say- 
ing, — imported by Madame de Stael, and thankfully 
pocketed by most newspaper critics, — " Providence has 
given to the French the empire of the land; to the Eng- 
lish that of the sea; to the Germans that of — the air!"

whole life a heroic poem. Life of Schiller.

Truth, 't is supposed, may bear all lights ; and one of those prin- 
cipal lights or natural mediums by which things are to be viewed in 
order to a thorough recognition is ridicule itself. — Shaftesbury: 
Essay on the Freedom of Wit and Humour, sect. 1 . 

'T was the saying of an ancient sage (Gorgias Leontinus, apud 
Aristotle's "Rhetoric," lib. iii. c. 18), that humour was the only test 
of gravity, and gravity of humour. For a subject which would not 
bear raillery was suspicious; and a jest which would not bear a seri- 
ous examination was certainly false wit. — Ibid. sect. 5. 



582 CARLYLE. 

There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom 
a biography, the life of a man; also it may be said, there 
is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic 
poem of its sort, rhymed or unrhymed. 

Sir Walter Scott. London and Westminster Review, 1838. 

Silence is deep as Eternity, speech is shallow as Time.

ROBERT GILFILLAN. 1798-1850. 

There's a hope for every woe, 

And a balm for every pain, 
But the first joys of our heart 

Come never back again! The Exile's Song. 



GEORGE MACBETH MOIR. 1798-1851. 

To me, through every season dearest; 

In every scene, by day, by night, 

Thou, present to my mind appearest 

A quenchless star, forever bright; 

My solitary sole delight: 
Where'er I am, by shore, at sea, 

I think of thee. When Thou at Eve. 



GEORGE LINLEY. 1798-1865. 

Ever of thee I 'm fondly dreaming, 

Thy gentle voice my spirit can cheer. Ever of Thee. 

Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream, 
And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream. 

Thou art gone. 
Tho' lost to sight, to memory dear 

Thou ever wilt remain; 
One only hope my heart can cheer, — 
The hope to meet again. 

Oh, fondly on the past I dwell, 

And oft recall those hours 
When, wandering down the shady dell, 

We gathered the wild-flowers. 



LINLEY. — POLLOK. 597 

Yes, life then seemed one pure delight, 

Tho' now each spot looks drear; 
Yet tho' thy smile be lost to sight, 

To memory thou art dear. 

Oft in the tranquil hour of night, 

When stars illume the sky, 
I gaze upon each orb of light, 

And wish that thou wert by. 

I think upon that happy time, 

That time so fondly loved, 
When last we heard the sweet bells chime, 

As thro' the fields we roved. .Song. 1

1 This song was written and composed by Linley for Mr. Augustus 
Braham, and sung by him. It is not known when it was written, — 
probably about 1830. 

Another song, entitled "Though lost to Sight, to Memory dear," 
was published in London in 1880, purporting to have been written 
by Ruthven Jenkyns in 1703 and published in the "Magazine for 
Mariners." That magazine, however, never existed, and the composer 
of the music acknowledged, in a private letter, that he copied the 
words from an American newspaper. The reputed author, Ruthven 
Jenkyns, was living, under another name, in California in 1882.

RUFUS CHOATE. 1799-1859. 

There was a state without king or nobles ; there was a

by grave magistrates which it had selected, and by equal 
laws which it had framed. 

Speech before the New England Society, Dec. 22, 1843. 

1 See Byron, page 548. 

2 There is a well-authenticated anecdote of Cromwell. On a cer- 
tain occasion, when his troops were about to cross a river to attack 
the enemy, he concluded an address, with these words: "Put your 
trust in God; but mind to keep your powder dry!" — Hayes: 
Ballads of Ireland, vol. 1, p. 191. 

3 The Americans equally detest the pageantry of a king and the 
supercilious hypocrisy of a bishop. — Junius: Letter xxxv. Dec. 19 ', 
1769. Compare the anonymous poem "The Puritans' Mistake," 
published by Oliver Ditson in 1844: — 

" Oh, we are weary pilgrims; to this wilderness we bring 
A Church without a bishop, a State without a King." 
It [Calvinism] established a religion without a prelate, a govern- 
ment without a king. — George Bancroft: History of the United

That is the best government which desires to make the

On Mitford's History of Greece. 1824- 

1 Six years earlier, Choate gave a lecture in Providence a review 
of which, by Franklin J. Dickman, appeared in the Journal of 
December 14, 1849. Unless Choate used the words "glittering 
generalities," and Dickman made reference to them, it would seem 
as if Dickman must have the credit of originating the catchword. 
He wrote: 

" We fear that the glittering generalities of the speaker have left an 
impression more delightful than permanent."

Free trade, one of the greatest blessings which a gov- 
ernment can confer on a people, is in almost every coun-

Wherever literature consoles sorrow or assuages pain; 
wherever it brings gladness to eyes which fail with wake- 
fulness and tears, and ache for the dark house and the 
long sleep, — there is exhibited in its noblest form the 
immortal influence of Athens. Ibid. 

We hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof

Out of his surname they have coined an epithet for a

in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show

On John Dry den. 1828. 

His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich. It 
enabled him to run, though not to soar. Ibid. 

A man possessed of splendid talents, which he often

which he often neglected; a man who succeeded only in 
an inferior department of his art, but who in that depart-

He had a head which statuaries loved to copy, and a 
foot the deformity of which the beggars in the streets 
mimicked. On Moore's Life of Lord Byron. 1830. 

We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British pub- 
lic in one of its periodical fits of morality. Ibid. 1830. 

From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system 
of ethics compounded of misanthropy and voluptuous- 
ness, — a system in which the two great commandments 
were to hate your neighbour and to love your neighbour's 
wife. Ibid. 

That wonderful book, while it obtains admiration from 
the most fastidious critics, is loved by those who are too 
simple to admire it. On Buny an' s Pilgrim's Progress. 1831. 

The conformation of his mind was such that whatever 
was little seemed to him great, and whatever was great 
seemed to him little. On Horace Walpole. 1833. 

What a singular destiny has been that of this remark- 
able man ! — To be regarded in his own age as a classic, 
and in ours as a companion! To receive from his con- 
temporaries that full homage which men of genius have 
in general received only, from posterity; to be more inti- 
mately known to posterity than other men are known to 
their contemporaries!

What cities, as great as this, have . . . promised themselves im- 
mortality! Posterity can hardly trace the situation of some. The 
sorrowful traveller wanders over the awful ruins of others. . . . Here 
stood their citadel, but now grown over with weeds; there their 
senate-house, but now the haunt of every noxious reptile; temples 
and theatres stood here, now only an undistinguished heap of ruins. 
— Goldsmith: The Bee, No. iv. (1759.) A City Night-Piece. 

Who knows but that hereafter some traveller like myself will sit 
down upon the banks of the Seine, the Thames, or the Zuyder Zee, 
where now, in the tumult of enjoyment, the heart and the eyes are 
too slow to take in the multitude of sensations? Who knows but he 
will sit down solitary amid silent ruins, and weep a people inurned 
and their greatness changed into an empty name? — Volney : 
Ruins, chap. ii. 

The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. 
There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New 
York, in time a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last 
some curious traveller from Lima will visit England, and give a de- 
scription of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions of Balbec and 
Palmyra. — Horace Walpole: Letter to Mason, Nov. 24, 1774- 
Where now is Britain? 

Even as the savage sits upon the stone 
That marks where stood her capitols, and hears 
The bittern booming in the weeds, he shrinks 
From the dismaying solitude. 

Henry Kirke White: Time. 
In the firm expectation that when London shall be a habitation of 
bitterns, when St. Paul and Westminster Abbey shall stand shapeless 
and nameless ruins in the midst of an unpeopled marsh, when the 
piers of Waterloo Bridge shall become the nuclei of islets of reeds and 
osiers, and cast the jagged shadows of. their broken arches on the 
solitary stream, some Transatlantic commentator will be weighing 
in the scales of some new and now unimagined system of criticism the 
respective merits of the Bells and the Fudges and their historians. —

Intoxicated with animosity. Ibid. 

Those who compare the age in which their lot has

Star of resplendent front! Thy glorious eye 
Shines on me still from out yon clouded sky. 

Arcturus (To Edgar Allen Poe). 

Tell him I lingered alone on the shore, 

Where we parted, in sorrow, to meet nevermore; 

The night-wind blew cold on my desolate heart 

But colder those wild words of doom, — "Ye must part." 

Our Island of Dreams. 

The sweet imperious mouth, whose haughty valor 
Defied all portents of impending doom. 

The Portrait. (Of Poe.) 

Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning 

Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled, 
Till the slant sunbeams through the fringes raining 
Bathe all the hills in melancholy gold. 

A still Day in Autumn. 
Enchantress of the stormy seas, 
Priestess of Night's high mysteries. 

Moonrise in May.

The days are still and bright, 
And Evening trails her robes of gold 
Through the dim halls of Night. 1 Summer's Call.

Wave and flutter round my door —

Float along the moonlit floor. The Raven.

Sweep through her marble halls.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON. 1803-1882. 

Nor knowest thou what argument 

Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. 

All are needed by each one; 

Nothing is fair or good alone. Each a**d AH 

I wiped away the weeds and foam, 

I fetched my sea-born treasures home; 

But the poor, unsightly, noisome things 

Had left their beauty on the shore, 

With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar. Ibid- 

I like a church; I like a cowl; 

I like a prophet of the soul; 

And on my heart monastic aisles 

Fall like sweet strains or pensive smiles: 

Yet not for all his faith can see 

Would I that cowled churchman be. The Problem. 

Not from a vain or shallow thought 

His awful Jove young Phidias brought. Ibid. 

Out from the heart of Nature rolled 

The burdens of the Bible old. Ibid.

And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,

Himself from God he could not free; 

He builded better than he knew: 

The conscious stone to beauty grew. Ibid. 

Earth proudly wears the Parthenon 

As the best gem upon her zone. Ibid. 

Earth laughs in flowers to see her boastful boys 
Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs; 
Who steer the plough, but can not steer their feet 
Clear of the grave. Hamaireya.

Good bye, proud world! I'm going home; 

Thou art not my friend; I am not thine. 1 Good Bye.

When man in the bush with God may meet? Ibid. 

If eyes were made for seeing, 
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being. 2 The Rhodora. 

Things are in the saddle, 

And ride mankind. 3 Ode, inscribed to W. H. Charming. 

Olympian bards who sung 

Divine ideas below, 
Which always find us young 

And always keep us so. Ode to Beauty. 

Heartily know, 

When half-gods go, 

The gods arrive. Give all to Love. 

Love not the flower they pluck and know it not, 

And all their botany is Latin names. Blight. 

The silent organ loudest chants 

The master's requiem. Dirge. 

By the rude bridge that arched the flood, 
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, 

Here once the embattled farmers stood, 
And fired the shot heard round the world. 4

LEONARD HEATH [?]. 

On a lone barren isle, where the wild roaring billows 

Assail the stern rock, and the loud tempests rave, 
The hero lies still, while the dew-drooping willows, 

Like fond weeping mourners, lean over his grave. 
The lightnings may flash and the loud thunders rattle; 

He heeds not, he hears not, he's free from all pain; 
He sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last battle; 

No sound can awake him to glory again!

624 HEATH. — DISRAJELI. 

Yet spirit immortal, the tomb can not bind thee, 

But like thine own eagle that soars to the sun 
Thou springest from bondage and leavest behind thee 

A name which before thee no mortal hath won. 
Tho' nations may combat, and war's thunders rattle, 

No more on thy steed wilt thou sweep o'er the plain: 
Thou sleep'st thy last sleep, thou hast fought thy last 
battle, 

No sound can awake thee to glory again.

Sparkling and bright in liquid light 

Does the wine our goblets gleam in; 
With hue as red as the rosy bed

As bubbles that swim on the beaker's brim 

And break on the lips while meeting.

My country is the world; my countrymen are man-

I am in earnest. I will not equivocate; I will not 
excuse; I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be 

heard! 2 Salutatory of the Liberator, Jan. 1, 1831. 

I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as 

justice. The Liberator. Vol. i. No. 1, 1831.

hell. 3 Resolution adopted by the Antislavery Society, Jan. 27 , 184-3. 

1 Socrates said he was not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of 
the world. — Plutaech: On Banishment.

am a citizen of the world." — Diogenes Laertius. 

My country is the world, and my religion is to do good. — Thomas 
Paine: Rights of Man, chap. v. 

This famous motto of Garrison's appears in several different 
forms. On the first number of the Liberator in 1831, the my was changed 
to our. In the Prospectus of December 15, 1837, it read: Our country 
is the world; our countrymen are all mankind.

you will hear me.

2 We take this to be, on the whole, the worst similitude in the 
world. In the first place, no stream meanders or can possibly meander 
level with the fount. In the next place, if streams did meander level 
with their founts, no two motions can be less like each other than 
that of meandering level and that of mounting upwards. — Macau-

As for a future life, every man must judge for himself 
between conflicting vague probabilities. 

From Life and Letters. 

Believing as I do that man in the distant future will be 
a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intoler-

doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued 
slow progress. To those who fully admit the immortality 
of the human soul, the destruction of our world will not 
appear so dreadful. Ibid.

When that which drew from out the, boundless deep 

Turns again home. Crossing the Bar.

Yorktown Oration, 1881. 

Slavery is but half abolished, emancipation is but half 
completed, while millions of freemen with votes in their 
hands are left without education. Justice to them, the 
welfare of the States in which they live, the safety of 
the whole Republic, the dignity of the elective franchise, 
— all alike demand that the still remaining bonds of 
ignorance shall be unloosed and broken, and the minds 
as well as the bodies of the emancipated go free.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. 1809-1894. 

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! 

Long has it waved on high, 
And many an eye has danced to see 

That banner in the sky. Old Ironsides. 

Nail to the mast her holy flag, 

Set every threadbare sail, 
And give her to the god of storms, 

The lightning and the gale! Ibid. 

The mossy marbles rest 

On the lips that he has prest 

In their bloom; 
And the names he loved to hear 
Have been carved for many a year 

On the tomb. The last Leaf. 

I know it is a sin 
For me to sit and grin 

At him here; 
But the old three-cornered hat, 
And the breeches, and all that, 

Are so queer! Ibid. 

Thou say'st an undisputed thing 

In such a solemn way. To an Insect. 

And silence, like a poultice, comes 

To heal the blows of sound. Ibid. 

You think they are crusaders sent 

From some infernal clime, 
To pluck the eyes of sentiment 

And dock the tail of Rhyme, 
To crack the voice of Melody 

And break the legs of Time. 

The Music Grinders.

And since, I never dare to write 

As funny as I can. The Height of the Ridiculous. 

Little I ask; my wants are few, 

I only want a hut of stone, 
(A very plain brownstone will do,) 

That I may call my own. 1 Contentment. 

When the last reader reads no more. The last Reader. 

The freeman casting with unpurchased hand 
The ,vote that shakes the turrets of the land. 

Poetry, a Metrical Essay. 

And when you stick on conversation's burrs, 
Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs. 

A rhymed Lesson. Urania. 

Wake in our breast the living fires, 

The holy faith that warmed our sires; 

Thy hand hath made our nation free; 

To die for her is serving Thee. Army Hymn. 

Thine eye was on the censer, 

And not the hand that bore it. Lines by a Clerk. 

Where go the poet's lines? 

Answer, ye evening tapers ! 
Ye auburn locks, ye golden curls, 

Speak from your folded papers ! The Poet's Lot. 

A few can touch the magic string, 

And noisy Fame is proud to win them; 

Alas for those that never sing, 

But die with all their music in them! 



The Voiceless.

"Man wants but little here below 
Nor wants that little long"; 
'T is not with me exactly so 
But 't is so in the song.

690 HOLMES. 

O hearts that break and give no sign 

Save whitening lip and fading tresses! The Voiceless. 

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, 

As the swift seasons roll! 

Leave thy low-vaulted past! 

Let each new temple, nobler than the last, 

Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, 

Till thou at length art free, 

Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea! 

The chambered Nautilus. 

One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, 
One Nation evermore! 

Voyage of the good Ship Union. 

His home! the Western giant smiles, 

And twirls the spotty globe to find it; 
This little speck, the British Isles? 

'T is but a freckle, — never mind it. 

A good Time going. 
But Memory blushes at the sneer, 

And Honor turns with frown defiant, 
And Freedom, leaning on her spear, 

Laughs louder than the laughing giant. Ibid. 

You hear that boy laughing? — you think he's all fun; 
But the angels laugh, too, at the good he has done; 
The children laugh loud as they troop to his call, 
And the poor man that knows him laughs loudest of all. 

The Boys. 
Good to the heels the well-worn slipper feels 

When the tired player shuffles off the buskin; 
A page of Hood may do a fellow good 
After a scolding from Carlyle or Ruskin. 

How not to settle it. 
Lean, hungry, savage anti-e very things.

Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay, 
That was built in such a logical way 
It ran a hundred years to a day? 

The Deacon s Masterpiece. 

A general flavor of mild decay. Ibid. 

It went to pieces all at once — 

All at once and nothing first, 

Just as bubbles do when they burst. Ibid.

The fairest meadow white with snow.

God reigneth. All is well. 1 Hymn

One unquestioned text we read, 
All doubt beyond, all fear above; 
Nor crackling pile nor cursing creed 2 

Can burn or blot it — God is love. 

What we all think. 
If we are only as the potter's clay 
Made to be fashioned as the artist wills, 
And broken into shards if we offend

Everybody likes and respects self-made men. It is a 
great deal better to be made in that way than not to be

Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits

There is that glorious epicurean paradox uttered by my 
friend the historian, 1 in one of his flashing moments: 
"Give us the luxuries of life, and we will dispense with 
its necessaries." To this must certainly be added that 
other saying of one of the wittiest of men : 2 " Good Amer-

Boston State-house is the hub of the solar system. 
You could n't pry that out of a Boston man if you had

How he lies in his rights of a man! 

Death has done all death can. 

And absorbed in the new life he leads, 

He recks not, he heeds 

Nor his wrong nor my vengeance; both strike 

On his senses alike, 

And are lost in the solemn and strange 

Surprise of the change. After. 

Ah, did you once see Shelley plain, 

And did he stop and speak to you, 
And did you speak to him again?

710 BROWNING. 

There shall never be one lost good! What was, shall live 
as before; 
The evil is null, is nought, is silence implying sound; 
What was good shall be good, with for evil so much good 
more; 
On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven, a perfect 
round. Abt Vogler. ix. 

Then welcome each rebuff 
That turns earth's smoothness rough, 
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! 
Be our joys three-parts pain! 
Strive, and hold cheap the strain; 
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the 
throe! Rabbi Ben Ezra. 

What I aspired to be, 

And was not, comforts me. Ibid. 

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure. Ibid. 

For life, with all it yields of joy and woe, 
And hope and fear (believe the aged friend), 
Is just our chance o' the prize of learning love, — 
How love might be, hath been indeed, and is. 

A Death in the Desert. 
The body sprang 
At once to the height, and stayed; but the soul, — no! 

Ibid. 

What? Was man made a wheel-work to wind up, 
And be discharged, and straight wound up anew? 
No! grown, his growth lasts; taught, he ne'er forgets: 
May learn a thousand things, not twice the same. Ibid. 

For I say this is death and the sole death, — 

When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, 

Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance. 

And lack of love from love made manifest. Ibid. 



BKOWNING. 711 

Progress, man's distinctive mark alone, 

Not God's, and not the beasts': God is, they are; 

Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be. 

A Death in the Desert.

Indulging every instinct of the soul 
There where law, life, joy, impulse are one thing! Ibid. 

How sad and bad and mad it was ! l

So may a glory from defect arise. Deaf and Dumb. 

This could but have happened once, — 
And we missed it, lost it forever.

Fear death? — to feel the fog in my throat, 
The mist in my face. 

No ! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers, 

The heroes of old; 
Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life's arrears 

Of pain, darkness, and cold. Prospice. 

It's wiser being good than bad; 

It's safer being meek than fierce; 
It's fitter being sane than mad. 

My own hope is, a sun will pierce 
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched; 

That after Last returns the First, 
Though a wide compass round be fetched; 

That what began best can't end worst, 

Nor what God blessed once prove accurst.

A life on the ocean wave ! 

A home on the rolling deep, 
Where the scattered waters rave, 

And the winds their revels keep ! 
Like an eagle caged I pine 

On this dull unchanging shore: 
Oh give me the flashing brine, 

The spray and the tempest's roar! 

A Life on the Ocean Wave. 

The cold blast at the casement beats;

Work, and thou wilt bless the day 

Ere the toil be done; 
They that work not, can not pray, 

Can not feel the sun. 
God is living, working still, 

All things work and move; 
Work, or lose the power to will, 

Lose the power to love. Working. 



FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER. 1814-1863. 

For right is right, since God is God, 1 

And right the day must win;

To falter would be sin. The Right must win.

And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;

In public duty and in private thinking. Wanted.

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath 

are stored; 
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift 

sword; 

His truth is marching on. 

Battle Hymn of the Republic. 



748 HOWE. — CARY. — BROWNELL. 

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, 
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; 
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free. 

Battle Hymn of the Republic. 

Weave no more silks, ye Lyons looms, 
To deck our girls for gay delights ! 

The crimson flower of battle blooms, 

And solemn marches fill the nights. Our Orders. 

The flag of our stately battles, not struggles of wrath and 

greed, 
Its stripes were a holy lesson, its spangles a deathless 

creed : 
'T was red with the blood of freemen and white with the 

fear of the foe; 
And the stars that fight in their courses 'gainst tyrants 

its symbols know. The Flag.

They [the Pilgrim Fathers] fell upon an ungenial climate, 
where there were nine months of winter and three months 
of cold weather and that called out the best energies of 
the men, and of the women too, to get a mere subsistence 
out of the soil, with such a climate. In their efforts to do 
that they cultivated industry and frugality at the same 
time — which is the real foundation of the greatness of 
the Pilgrims.

We may live without conscience and live without heart; 
We may live without friends; we may live without books; 
But civilized man can not live without cooks.

May hope to achieve it before life is done; 

But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes 

Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows

Thought alone is eternal. Canto vi. 

Let any man show the world that he feels 
Afraid of its bark and 't will fly at his heels : 
Let him fearlessly face it, 't will leave him alone :

These heroes are dead. They died for liberty — they 
died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land 
they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, 
under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful 
willows, the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the 
shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, 
each in the windowless palace of rest. Earth may run 
red with other wars — they are at peace. In the midst 
of battles, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity 
of death. Memorial Day Vision. 

Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks 
of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the 
heights. We cry aloud — and the only answer is the 
echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the 
unreplying dead there comes no word. But in the night 
of Death Hope sees a star and listening Love can hear the 
rustling of a wing. At his Brother's Grave.

In the world's soil in cycles past 
Spring up and blossom at the last; 
Saw how the souls of men had grown, 
And where the scythes of Truth had mown 
Clear space for Liberty's white throne; 
Saw how, by sorrow tried and proved, 
The blackening stains had been removed 
Forever from the land he loved; 
Saw Treason crushed and Freedom crowned, 
And clamorous Faction, gagged and bound, 
Gasping its life out on the ground.

Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, 

A tale of folly and of wasted life, 

Hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, 

Ending, where all things end, in death at last.

Slayer of the Winter, art thou here again? 

welcome, thou that bring'st the Summer nigh! 
The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain, 

Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky.

Rejoice, lest pleasureless ye die. 
Within a little time must ye go by. 
Stretch forth your open hands, and while ye live 
Take all the gifts that Death and Life may give! Ibid.

In some wise may come ending to my pain; 
It may be yet the Gods will have me glad! 
Yet, Love, I would that thee and pain I had!

will go. But it gets through more business in Spring than 
in any other season. In the Spring I have counted one

Shuddering in the gloaming light. 
" I know not," said the second Shape,

So precious life is ! Even to the old 

The hours are as a miser's coins! Broken Music. 

Wide open and unguarded stand our gates, 

Named of the four winds, North, South, East and West; 

Portals that lead to an enchanted land . . . 

Here, it is written, Toil shall have its wage 

And Honor honor, and the humblest man 

Stand level with the highest in the law. 

Of such a land have men in dungeons dreamed 

And with the vision brightening in their eyes 

Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword. 

O Liberty, white Goddess ! is it well 

To leave the gates unguarded? On thy breast 

Fold Sorrow's children, soothe the hurts of Fate, 

Lift the down-trodden, but with hand of steel 

Stay those who to thy sacred portals come 

To waste the gifts of Freedom. Unguarded Gates.

The ripest peach is highest on the tree. The ripest Peach. 

O'er folded blooms 

On swirls of musk, 
The beetle booms adown the glooms 

And bumps along the dusk. The Beetle. 

One naked star has waded through 
The purple shadows of the night, 

And faltering as falls the dew 

It drips its misty light. Ibid. 

An' the Gobble-uns '11 git you 

Ef you don't watch OUt. Little Orphant Annie. 



FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON. 1852 . 

The Night has a thousand eyes, 

And the Day but one; 
Yet the light of the bright world dies 

With the dying sun. 

The mind has a thousand eyes, 

And the heart but one; 
Yet the light of a whole life dies 

When love is done. Light. 



EDWIN MARKHAM. 1852 . 

The crest and crowning of all good, 

Life's final star, is Brotherhood. Brotherhood. 

Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans 
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, 
The emptiness of ages in his face, 
And on his back the burden of the world.

HENRY VAN DYKE. 1852 . 

Men have dulled their eyes with sin, 

And dimmed the light of heaven with doubt, 

And built their temple-walls to shut thee in, 
And framed their iron creeds to shut thee out. 

God of the open Air. 

Often faltering feet 

Come surest to the goal. Reliance. 

The blessing of earth is toil. The Toiling of Felix. 

He that planteth a tree is the servant of God, 
He provideth a kindness for many generations, 
And faces that he hath not seen shall bless him. 

The friendly Trees. 



HENRY CUYLER BUNNER. 1855-1896. 

Love must kiss that mortal's eyes 
Who hopes to see fair Arcady. 
No gold can buy you entrance there; 
But beggared Love may go all bare — 
No wisdom won with weariness; 
But Love goes in with Folly's dress — 
No fame that wit could ever win; 
But only Love may lead Love in. 

The Way to Arcady} 

Ah woe is me, through all my days 
Wisdom and wealth I both have got, 

And fame and name and great men's praise; 

But Love, ah! Love I have it not. Ibid.

1855 . 

Life is a voyage. The winds of life come strong 
From every point; yet each will speed thy course along, 
If thou with steady hand when tempests blow 
Canst keep thy course aright and never once let go. 

The Voyage of Life. 

Death is an angel with two faces : 

To us he turns 

A face of terror, blighting all things fair; 

The other burns 

With glory of the stars, and love is there.

1856-1900. 

Yet each man kills the thing he loves, 

By each let this be heard, 
Some do it with a' bitter look, 

Some with a flattering word, 
The coward does it with a kiss, 

The brave man with a sword. 

The Ballad of Reading Gaol. 

All that we know who lie in gaol 

Is that the wall is strong; 
And that each day is like a year, 

A year whose days are long. Ibid. 

The vilest deeds like poison-weeds 

Bloom well in prison-air: 
It is only what is good in Man 

That wastes and withers there: 
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate 

And the Warder is Despair. Ibid. 

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. 

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

It is through Art and through Art ov\y that we can

existence. Art.

If I should die to-night 1

I might arise in my large white cravat 

And say, " What 's that? " If I should die.

Nothing to eat but food, 
Nothing to wear but clothes

THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 1858- 



No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of

Out of Heaven and just like me? Ex Ore Infantum. 

I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;

Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears 
I hid from Him, and under running laughter.

You shall not change, but a nobler race of men

There was music all about us, we were growing quite 
forgetful 

We were only singing seamen from the dirt of London- 
town. Forty singirtg Seamen. 

There 's a magic in the distance, where the sea-line meets 
the sky. Ibid. 

Go down to Kew in lilac-time, in lilac-time, in lilac-time; 
Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it is n't far from London !) 
And you shall wander hand in hand with love in summer's 
wonder-land; 
Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it is n't far from London !) 

The Barrel-organ. 
Ye that follow the vision 

Of the world's weal afar, 
Have ye met with derision 

And the red laugh of war? 
Yet the thunder shall not hurt you 

Nor the battle storms dismay; 

Tho' the sun in heaven desert you 

" Love will find out the way." 

Love will find out the Way. 



BASHFORD. — RUSSELL. 855 



HENRY HOWARTH BASHFORD. 1880- 



As I came down the Highgate Hill, 
The Highgate Hill, the Highgate Hill, 

As I came down the Highgate Hill 1 
I met the sun's bravado, 

And saw below me, fold on fold, 

Grey to pearl and pearl to gold, 

This London like a land of old, 

The land of Eldorado. Romance. 



GEORGE W. RUSSELL ("A.E."). 

Our hearts were drunk with a beauty 
Our eyes could never see. 

The unknown God. 

Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies 

Between the pain of hell and paradise! Janus. 

Oh, I am so old, meseems 
I am next of kin to Time. 

The Grey Eros. 
She sat with hands as if to bless, 

And looked with grave ethereal eyes; 
Ensouled by ancient Quietness, 
A gentle priestess of the Wise. 

Forgiveness. 

Twilight, a timid fawn, went glimmering by, 
And Night, the dark-blue hunter, followed fast. 

Refuge. 

We are in the calm and proud possession of eternal things. 

Babylon.

Only a baby small, 1 

Dropt from the skies; 
Small, but how dear to us 

God knoweth best. 

Only a Baby Small. 



ERNEST LAWRENCE THAYER. 1863 . 

There was ease in Casey's manner as he stept into his 

place, 
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's 

face, 
And when responding to the cheers he lightly doft his hat, 
No stranger in the crowd could doubt, 't was Casey at the 

bat. Casey at the Bat. 

"Strike one" the Umpire said. 

From the bleachers black with people there rose a sullen 
roar, 

Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and dis- 
tant shore, 

"Kill him! Kill the Umpire!" shouted some one from the 
stand — 

And it 's likely they 'd have done it had not Casey raised 
his hand. Ibid. 

Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining 

bright, 
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts 

are light, 
And somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children 

shout; 
But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has 

"struck out." Ibid.

MARGARET WITTER FULLER. 

I am immortal! I know it! I feel it! 

Hope floods my heart with delight! 
Running on air, mad with life, dizzy, reeling, 
Upward I mount — faith is sight, life is feeling, 

Hope is the day-star of might! 

Dryad Song. Stanza 1< 
It was thy kiss, Love, that made me immortal x 

Ibid. Stanza 2. 

Chance cannot touch me! Time cannot hush me! 

Fear, hope, and longing, at strife, 
Sink as I rise, on, on, upward forever, 
Gathering strength, gaining breath, — naught can sever 

Me from the Spirit of Life! Ibid. Stanza 4. 



MARY FRANCES BUTTS. 

"O star on the breast of the river! 

marvel of bloom and grace! 
Did you fall right down from heaven, 

Out of the sweetest place? 
You are white as the thoughts of an angel, 

Your heart is steeped in the sun; 
Did you grow in the Golden City, 

My pure and radiant one?" 

"Nay, nay, I fell not out of heaven; 

None gave me my saintly white; 
It slowly grew from the darkness, 

Down in the dreary night. 
From the ooze of the silent river, 

1 win my glory and grace, 
White souls fall not, O my poet, 

They rise to the sweetest place." 

The Water Lily.

The world, and whatever that be which we call the 
heavens, by the vault of which all things are enclosed, 
we must conceive to be a deity, to be eternal, without 
bounds, neither created nor subject at any time to de- 
struction. To inquire what is beyond it is no concern 
of man; nor can the human mind form any conjecture 

Concerning it. Natural History. Book ii. Sect. 1, 

It is ridiculous to suppose that the great head of things, 

whatever it be, pays any regard to human affairs. 

Sect. 20. 

Everything is soothed by oil, and this is the reason 
why divers send out small quantities of it from theii

It is far from easy to determine whether she [Nature] 
has proved to him a kind parent or a merciless step-

Man alone at the very moment of his birth, cast naked 
upon the naked earth, does she abandon to cries and 
lamentations. 3 Sect. 2. 

1 Why does pouring oil on the sea make it clear and calm ? Is it for that 
the winds, slipping the smooth oil, have no force, nor cause any waves ? — 
Plutarch : Natural Questions, ix. 

The venerable Bede relates that Bishop Adain (a.d. 651) gave to a com- 
pany about to take a journey by sea "some holy oil, saying, 'I know that 
when you go abroad you will meet with a storm and contrary wind; but do 
you remember to cast this oil I give you into the sea, and the wind shall 
cease immediately.' " — Ecclesiastical History, book Hi. chap. xiv. 

In Sparks's edition of Franklin's Works, vol. vi. p. 354, there are letters

To laugh, if but for an instant only, has never been

Natural History. Book vii. Stct. 2. 

Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn 
nothing without being taught. He can neither speak

With man, most of his misfortunes are occasioned by

Indeed, what is there that does not appear marvellous

The human features and countenance, although com- 
posed of but some ten parts or little more, are so fash- 
ioned that among so many thousands of men there are 
no two in existence who cannot be distinguished from 
one another. 5 Sect. 8. 

All men possess in their bodies a poison which acts 
upon serpents ; and the human saliva, it is said, makes 
them take to flight, as though they had been touched 
wich boiling water. The same substance, it is said, de- 
stroys them the moment it enters their throat. 6 Sect. 15.

for a serpent-detecter (Psylli) to remove two serpents that had been seen 
in his house. He having enticed one of them from his hiding-place, caught 
it in one hand, just below the jaw-bone, in such a manner as to oblige the 
mouth to open, when spitting into it, the effect was like magic: the reptile 
appeared struck with instant death. — Memoirs, vol. i. chap. lix.

Cincinnatus was ploughing his four jugera of land 
upon the Vaticanian Hill, — the same that are still 
known as the Quintian Meadows, — when the messen- 
ger brought him the dictatorship, finding him, the tra-

The agricultural population, says Cato, produces the 
bravest men, the most valiant soldiers, and a class of 
citizens the least given of all to evil designs. ... A bad 
bargain is always a ground for repentance. Sect. 26. 

1 This is alluded to by Cicero in his letters to Atticus, and is mentioned 
by ^Elian (Animated Nature, book. vi. chap. 41). It is like our proverb, 
*' Rats leave a sinking ship."

It was a custom with Apelles, to which he most tena- 
ciously adhered, never to let any day pass, however busy 
he might be, without exercising himself by tracing some 
outline or other, — a practice which has now passed in-

he had completed a work, to exhibit it to the view of 
the passers-by in his studio, while he himself, concealed

This Being of mine, whatever it really is, consists of a 
little flesh, a little breath, and the part which governs. 

Meditations, it, 2. 

The ways of the gods are full of providence. 3 , 

Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest 
every act in life as though it were thy last. 1 5, 

Thou seest how few be the things, the which if a man 

has at his command his life flows gently on and is divine. 

Ibid. 

Find time still to be learning somewhat good, and give 
up being desultory. 7. 

No state sorrier than that of the man who keeps up a 
continual round, and pries into " the secrets of the nether 
world," as saith the poet, and is curious in conjecture of 
what is in his neighbour's heart. 13. 

Though thou be destined to live three thousand years 
and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man 
loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth 
other than that which he loseth. u, 

For a man can lose neither the past nor the future ; 
for how can one take from him that which is not his ? 
So remember these two points : first, that each thing is 
of like form from everlasting and comes round again in 
its cycle, and that it signifies not whether a man shall 
look upon the same things for a hundred years or two 
hundred, or for an infinity of time ; second, that the long- 
est lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to 
die, lose one and the same thing. Md. 

1 See Publius Syrus, page 897 • 
A similar saying falls from his lips at another time : "Let every act 
and speech and purpose be framed as though this moment thou mightest 
take thy leave of life." 



V 



936 MARCUS AURELIUS. 

As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange 
land ; but the fame that comes after is oblivion. 

Meditations, li. 17 

Waste not the remnant of thy life in those imagina- 
tions touching other folk, whereby thou contributest not 
to the common weal. m. 4. 

The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and 
suits him to itself. 1 ibid. 

Be not unwilling in what thou doest, neither selfish 
nor unadvised nor obstinate ; let not over-refinement deck 
out thy thought ; be not wordy nor a busybody. 5. 

A man should be upright, not be kept upright. ibid. 

Never esteem anything as of advantage to thee that 
shall make thee break thy word or lose thy self-respect. 

7. 

Eespect the faculty that forms thy judgments. 9. 

Remember that man's life lies all within this present, 
as 't were but a hair's-breadth of time ; as for the rest, 
the past is gone, the future yet unseen. Short, there- 
fore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth 
wherein he dwells. w. 

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the 
ability to investigate systematically and truly all that 
comes under thy observation in life. 11. 

As surgeons keep their instruments and knives always 
at hand for cases requiring immediate treatment, so 
shouldst thou have thy thoughts ready to understand 
things divine and human, remembering in thy every 
act, even the smallest, how close is the bond that unites 
the two. 13. 

The ruling power within, when it is in its natural 
state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily

given it to do. Meditations, iv. 1.

according to the finished rules that govern its kind.

By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind 
well ordered. 3,

The universe is change ; our life is what our thoughts 
make it. 3. 

Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a

Death, like generation, is a secret of Nature. 5. 

That which makes the man no worse than he was 
makes his life no worse : it has no power to harm, with-

Whatever happens at all happens as it should ; thou 
wilt find this true, if thou shouldst watch narrowly. 10. 

Many the lumps of frankincense on the same altar ;

Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of 
beauty in itself, and is complete in itself ; praise forms 
no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for 
being praised. 2c 



938 MARCUS AURELIUS. 

Doth, perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? 
Nay ; no more than law, no more than truth, no more 
than loving kindness, nor than modesty. 

Meditations, iv. 20. 

All that is harmony for thee, Universe, is in har- 
mony with me as well. Nothing that comes at the right 
time for thee is too early or too late for me. Everything 
is fruit to me that thy seasons bring, O Nature. All 
things come of thee, have their being in thee, and return 
to thee. 23. 

"Let thine occupations be few," saith the sage, 1 "if 
thou wouldst lead a tranquil life." 24. 

Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be 
content therewith. 31. 

Remember this, — that there is a proper dignity and 
proportion to be observed in the performance of every 
act of life. 32. 

All is ephemeral, • — fame and the famous as well. 35. 

Observe always that everything is the result of a 
changp, and get used to thinking that there is nothing 
Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to 
make new ones like them. 36. 

Search men's governing principles, and consider the 
wise, what they shun and what they cleave to. 38. 

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is 
its current ; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it 
is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will 
be swept away. 43. 

All that happens is as usual and familiar as the rose 
in spring and the crop in summer. 44. 

That which comes after ever conforms to that which 
has gone before. 45.

Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at 
the yawning void of the future, and at that other limit- 
less space, the past. 50. 

Always take the short cut ; and that is the rational 
one. Therefore say and do everything according to 
soundest reason. 51. 

In the morning, when thou art sluggish at rousing

Do not think that what is hard for thee to master is 
impossible for man ; but if a thing is possible and proper 
to man, deem it attainable by thee. 29. 



940 MARCUS AURELIUS. 

If any man can convince me and bring home to me 
that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change ; 
for I search after truth, by which man never yet was 
harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his 
deception and ignorance. Meditations, vi 21. 

Death, — a stopping of impressions through the senses, 
and of the pulling of the cords of motion, and of the 
ways of thought, and of service to the flesh. 2s 

Suit thyself to the estate in which thy lot is cast. 39. 

What is not good for the swarm is not good for the 
bee. 54. 

How many, once lauded in song, are given over to the 
forgotten; and how many w r ho sung their praises are 
clean gone long ago ! v u. e. 

One Universe made up of all that is ; and one God in 
it all, and one principle of Being, and one Law, the Rea- 
son, shared by all thinking creatures, and one Truth. 9. 

To a rational being it is the same thing to act accord- 
ing to nature and according to reason. ii. 

Let not thy mind run on what thou lackest as much 
as on what thou hast already. 27. 

Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, 
hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly 
hidden by those that follow after. 34. 

The art of living is more like w r restling than dancing, 
in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and 
the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall. 6i. 

Remember this, — that very little is needed to make a 
happy life. 67. 

Remember that to change thy mind and to follow him 
that sets thee rightj is to be none the less the free agent 
that thou wast beforei v m. 16.

A man's happiness, — to do the things proper to man.. 

26, 

Be not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor 
rambling in thought. 51. 

He that knows not what the world is, knows not where 
he is himself. He that knows not for what he was made, 
knows not what he is nor what the world is. 52. 

The nature of the universe is the nature of things that 
are. Now, things that are have kinship with things that 
are from the beginning. Further, this nature is styled 
Truth ; and it is the first cause of all that is true. { x . 1. 

He would be the finer gentleman that should leave the 
world without having tasted of lying or pretence of any 
sort, or of wantonness or conceit. ^ 

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with, 
favour ; for even death is one of the things that Nature 
wills. 3. 

A wrong-doer is often a man that has left something 
undone, not always he that has done something. 5. 

Blot out vain pomp ; check impulse ; quench appetite ;. 
keep reason under its own control. 7, 

Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek 
their kind. 9. 

All things are the same, — familiar in enterprise, mo- 
mentary in endurance, coarse in substance. All things 
now are as they were in the day of those whom we have 
buried. 14. 

The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social 
animal depends not on what he feels but on what he 
does ; just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling 
but in doing. ; , i&

Everything is in a state of metamorphosis. Thou thy- 
self art in everlasting change and in corruption to corre- 
spond ; so is the whole universe. Meditations, ix. 19. 

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see 
whether any shall note it. . . . Be satisfied with success 
in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a 
result is no trifle. gs

Bion used to say that the way to the shades below was 
easy ; he could go there with his eyes shut. Bion. in. 

Once when Bion was at sea in the company of some 
wicked men, he fell into the hands of pirates ; and when 
the rest said, " We are undone if we are known," — " But 
I," said he, "am undone if we are not known." ibid. 

Of a rich man who was niggardly he said, " That man 
does not own his estate, but his estate owns him." ibid.

Aristotle was once asked what those who tell lies gain 
by it. Said he, " That when they speak truth they are 

not believed." Aristotle- xi. 

The question was put to him, what hope is ; and his 
answer was, " The dream of a waking man." 2 jbid. 

He used to say that personal beauty was a better in- 
troduction than any letter ; 3 but others say that it was 
Diogenes who gave this description of it, while Aristotle 
called beauty " the gift of God ; " that Socrates called it 
"a short-lived tyranny;" Theophrastus, "a silent de« 
ceit ; " Theocritus, " an ivory mischief ; " Carneades, 
" a sovereignty which stood in need of no guards." md

On one occasion Aristotle was asked how much edu- 
cated men were superior to those uneducated: "As 
much," said he, " as the living are to the dead." 1 

Aristotle, xi. 

It was a saying of his that education was an ornament 
in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. ibid. 

He was once asked what a friend is, and his answer 
was, " One soul abiding in two bodies." 2 ibid. 

Asked what he gained from philosophy, he answered, 
" To do without being commanded what others do from 
fear of the laws." ibid. 



The question was once put to him, how we ought to 
behave to our friends ; and the answer he gave was, " As 
we should wish our friends to behave to us." ibid. 

He used to define justice as "a virtue of the soul dis- 
tributing that which each person deserved." ibid. 

Another of his sayings was, that education was the 
best viaticum of old age. ibid. 

The chief good he has defined to be the exercise of 
virtue in a perfect life. xiii. 

He used to teach that God is incorporeal, as Plato 
also asserted, and that his providence extends over all 
the heavenly bodies. ibid. 

It was a favourite expression of Theophrastus that 
^ime was the most valuable thing that a man could

When asked what learning was the most necessary, he 
said, "Not to unlearn what you have learned." jbid. 

Diogenes would frequently praise those who were 
about to marry, and yet did not marry. mot/ems. iv. 

" Bury me on my face," said Diogenes ; and when he 
was asked why, he replied, "Because in a little while 
everything will be turned upside down." v i. 

One of the sayings of Diogenes was that most men 
were within a finger's breadth of being mad ; for if a man 
walked with his middle finger pointing out, folks would 
think him mad, but not so if it were his forefinger, ibid. 

All things are in common among friends. 2 ibid. 

"Be of good cheer," said Diogenes ; "I see land."

Plato having defined man to be a two-legged animal 
without feathers, Diogenes plucked a cock and brought 
it into the Academy, and said, "This is Plato's man." 
On which account this addition was made to the defini- 
tion, — " With broad flat nails." ibid. 

A man once asked Diogenes what was the proper time 
for supper, and he made answer, " If you are a rich man, 
whenever you please ; and if you are a poor man, when-

Diogenes lighted a candle in the daytime, and went 
round saying, " I am looking for a man." 4 ibid.

(Reflections, or Sentences and Moral Maxims.) 

Our virtues are most frequently but vices disguised. 2 

We have all sufficient strength to endure the misfor* 
tunes of others. Maxim 19. 

Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils and future 
evils ; but present evils triumph over it. s Maxim 22. 

We need greater virtues to sustain good than evil for- 
tune. Maxim 25. 

Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a 
steady eye. Maxim 26. 

Interest speaks all sorts of tongues, and plays all sorts 
of parts, even that of disinterestedness. Maxim 39. 

We are never so happy or so unhappy as we suppose. 

Maxim 49. 

There are few people who would not be ashamed of 
being loved when they love no longer. Maxim 71, 

1 Translated by Samuel Johnson. 

2 This epigraph, which is the key to the system of La Rochefoucauld, is 
found in another form as No. 179 of the Maxims of the first edition, 1665 ; 
it is omitted from the second and third, and reappears for the first time in 
the fourth edition at the head of the Reflections. — Aime Martin. 

8 See Goldsmith, page 401. 



LA BOCHEFOUCAULD. 981 

True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about 
and few have seen. Maxim 76. 

The love of justice is simply, in the majority of men, 
the fear of suffering injustice. Maxim 78. 

Silence is the best resolve for him who distrusts him- 
self. Maxim 79. 

Friendship is only a reciprocal conciliation of inter- 
ests, and an exchange of good offices ; it as a species of 
commerce out of which self-love always expects to gain 

Something. Maxim 83. 

A man who is ungrateful is often less to blame than 
his benefactor. Maxim 96. 

The understanding is always the dupe of the heart. 

Maxim 102. 

Nothing is given so profusely as advice. Maxim no. 

The true way to be deceived is to think oneself more 
knowing than others. Maxim 127. 

Usually we praise only to be praised. Maxim U6. 

Our repentance is not so much regret for the ill we 
have done as fear of the ill that may happen to us in 
consequence. Maxim iso. 

Most people judge men only by success or by fortune. 

Maxim 212. 

Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. 

Maxim 218. 

Too great haste to repay an obligation is a kind of 
Ingratitude. Maxim 226. 

There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one's 

ability. Maxim 245. 

The pleasure of love is in loving. We are happier in 
the passion we feel than in that we inspire. 1 Maxim 2.59 

1 See Shelley 3 p'ige 566. 



982 LA ROCHEFOUCAULD. 

We always like those who admire us 5 we do not 
always like those whom we admire. Maxim 294. 

The gratitude of most men is but a secret desire of 
receiving greater benefits. 1 Maxim 298. 

Lovers are never tired of each other, though they 
always speak of themselves. Maxim 312. 

We pardon in the degree that we love. Maxim 330. 

We hardly lind any persons of good sense save those 
who agree with us. 2 Maxim 347. 

The greatest fault of a penetrating wit is to go beyond 
the mark. Maxim 377 

We may give advice, but we cannot inspire the con- 
duct. Maxim 378. 

The veracity which increases with old age is not far 

from folly. Maxim 416. 

In their first passion women love their lovers, in all 
the others they love love. 8 Maxim 471. 

Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on 

One Side. Maxim 496. 

In the adversity of our best friends we often find 
something that is not exactly displeasing. 4 

1 See Walpole, page 304. 

2 "That was excellently observed," say I when I read a passage in 
another where his opinion agrees with mine. When we differ, then I pro- 
nounce him to be mistaken. — Swift: Thourjhts on Various Subjects. 

3 See Byron, page 557. 

4 This reflection, No. 99 in the edition of 1665, the author suppressed 
in the third edition. 

In all distresses of our friends 
We first consult our private ends; 
While Nature, kindly bent to ease us, 
Points out some circumstance to please us.

There is no repose for the mind except in the absolute; 
for feeling, except in the infinite; for the soul, except in 

the divine. Journal. 

Only one thing is necessary : to possess God — All the 
senses, all the forces of the soul and of the spirit, all the 
exterior resources are so many open outlets to the Divin- 
ity; so many ways of tasting and of adoring God. We 
should be able to detach ourselves from all that is perish- 
able and cling absolutely to the eternal and the absolute 
and enjoy the all else as a loan, as a usufruct. ... To 
worship, to comprehend, to receive, to feel, to give, to 
act: this our law, our duty, our happiness, our heaven. 

Ibid. 

Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the 
flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, 
of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death. There 
is no real piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling 
and glorious concentration of courage. Ibid. 



AMIEL. — IBSEN. 995 

Truth is the secret of eloquence and of virtue, the basis 
of moral authority; it is the highest summit of art and 
of life. Ibid. 

Life is the apprenticeship to progressive renunciation, 
to the steady diminution of our claims, of our hopes, of 
our powers, of our liberty. Ibid. 

Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing 
what is impossible for talent is genius. Ibid. 

A man without passion is only a latent force, only a 
possibility, like a stone waiting for the blow from the 
iron to give forth sparks. Ibid. 

The efficacy of religion lies precisely in what is not ra- 
tional, philosophic or eternal; its efficacy lies in the unfore- 
seen, the miraculous, the extraordinary. Thus religion 
attracts more devotion according as it demands more 
faith, — that is to say, as it becomes more incredible to 
the profane mind. The philosopher aspires to explain 
away all mysteries, to dissolve them into light. Mysterj 
on the other hand is demanded and pursued by the re- 
ligious instinct; mystery constitutes the essence of wor- 
ship, the power of proselytism. When the "cross" 
became the "foolishness" of the cross, it took possession 
of the masses. Ibid. 

If ignorance and passion are the foes of popular moral- 
ity, it must be confessed that moral indifference is the 
malady of the cultivated classes. The modern separation 
of enlightenment and virtue, of thought and conscience, 
of the intellectual aristocracy from the honest and com- 
mon crowd is the greatest danger that can threaten 

liberty. Ibid.

FRIEDRICH WILHELM NIETZSCHE. 1844-1900. 

I teach you the Overman. Man is something which 
shall be surpassed. Thus Spake Zarathustra. 

The good generally displeases us when it is beyond our 
ken. 

Everyone who enjoys thinks that the principal thing 
to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal 
thing to it is the seed. — Herein lies the difference between 
them that create and them that enjoy. 

He that prefers the beautiful to the useful in life will, 
undoubtedly, like children who prefer sweetmeats to 
bread, destroy his digestion and acquire a very fretful 
outlook on the world. 

On the heights it is warmer than people in the valleys 
suppose, especially in winter. The thinker recognizes the 
full import of this simile. 

In the mountains of truth, you never climb in vain. 
Either you already reach a higher point today, or you 
exercise your strength in order to be able to climb higher 
tomorrow. 

The value of many men and books rests solely on their 
faculty for compelling all to speak out the most hidden 
and intimate things. 

Merchant and pirate were for a long period one and the 
same person. Even today mercantile morality is really 
nothing but a refinement of piratical morality. 

Many a man fails to become a thinker for the sole 
reason that his memory is too good. Maxims. 



MAURICE MAETERLINCK. 1864 . 

The future is a world limited by ourselves; in it we 
discover only what concerns us and, sometimes, by chance, 
x vhat interests those whom we love the most. 

Joyzelle. Act i. 



998 MAETERLINCK. — ROSTAND. 

Men's weaknesses are often necessary to the purposes of 
life. Joyzelle. Act ii. 

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful 
death than the animals that know nothing. A day will 
come when science will turn upon its error and no longer 
hesitate to shorten our woes. A day will come when it 
will dare and act with certainty; when life, grown wiser, 
will depart silently at its hour, knowing that it has reached 
its term. Our Eternity. 



EDMOND ROSTAND. 1868-

We humbly think that there still are hearts. 1

4 It was from the imperial camp near Pavia that Francis I., before leav- 
ing tor Pizzighettone, wrote to his mother the memorable letter which, 
thanks to tradition, has become altered to the form of this sublime lacon-

The correction of this expression was first made bv Sismoncli, vol. xvi. 
pp. 241, 242. The letter itself is printed entire in Dulaure's "Histoire de

occupied by Laurent Koster (or Coster), who is charged, among others, 
with the invention of printing. Mention is first made of this inscrip* 
tion about 1628 : —

APPENDIX. 1045 

Before you could say Jack Robinson. 

This current phrase is said to be derived from a humorous song by Hud- 
son, a tobacconist in Shoe Lane, London. He was a professional song- 
writer and vocalist, who used to bd engaged to sing at supper-rooms 
and theatrical houses. 

A warke it ys as easie to be done 
As tys to save Jacke ! robys on. 

Halliwell: Archaeological Dictionary. 
(Cited from an old Play.) 

Begging the question. 

This is a common logical fallacy, petitio princlpii ; and the first explana- 
tion of the phrase is to be lound in Aristotle's " Topica," viii. 13, where 
the five ways of begging the question are set forth. The earliest Lng 
lish work in which the expression is found is "The Arte of Logike 
plainlie set forth in our English Tongue, &c." (1584.) 

Better to wear out than to rust out. 

When a friend told Bishop Cumberland (1632-1718) he would wear 
himself out by his incessant application, "It is better," replied ihe 
Bishop, "to wear out than to rust out." — Horxe : Sermon on the 
Duty of Contending for the Truth. 

Boswell : Tour to the Hebrides, p. 18, note. 

Beware of a man of one book. 

When St. Thomas Aquinas was asked in what manner a man might 
best become learned, he answered, "By reading one book." The 
homo unius llbri is indeed proverbially formidable to all conver- 
sational figurantes. — Suuthev: The Doctor, p. 164. 

Bitter end. 

This phrase is nearly without meaning as it is used. The true phrase, 
"better end," is used properly to designate a crisis, or the moment 
of an extremity. When in a gale a vessel has paid out all her cable, 
her cable has run out to the "better end," —the end which is secured 
within the vessel and little used. Robinson Crusoe in describing the 
terrible storm in Yarmouth Roads says, "We rode with two anchors 
ahead, and the cables veered out to the better end." 

Cockles of the heart. 

Latham says the most probable explanation of this phrase lies (1) in the 
likeness of a heart to a cockleshell, — the base of the former beint; 
compared to the hinge of the latter ; (2) in the zo ( '>]n«-Val name fof 
the cockle and its congeners being Cordium, from Kapfiia fheart) 



1046 APPENDIX. 

Castles in the ah. 

This is a proverbial phrase found throughout English literature, the first 
instance noted being in Sir Philip Sidney's " Defence of Poesy." 

Consistency, thou art a jewel. 

This is one of those popular sayings — like "Be good, and you will be 
happy," or " Virtue is its own reward " — that, like Topsy, " never 
was born, only jist growed." From the earliest times it has been the 
popular tendency to call this or that cardinal virtue, or bright and 
shining excellence, a jewel, by way of emphasis. For example, lago 
says, — 

" Good name, in man or woman, dear my lord, 
Is the immediate jewel of their souls." 
Shakespeare elsewhere calls experience a "jewel." Miranda pays her 
modesty is the "jewel" in her dower ; and in "All 's Well that ends 
"Well," Diana terms her chastity the "jewel" of her house. — R. A. 
Wight 

O discretion, thou art a jewel ! — The Skylark, a Collection of well- 
chosen English Songs. (London, 1772.) 

The origin of this expression is unknown. Some wag of the day 
allayed public curiosity in regard to its source with the information 
that it is from the ballad of Robin Roughhead in Murtagh's "Col- 
lection of Ballads (1754)." It is needless to say that Murtagh is a 
verbal phantom, and the ballad of Robin Roughhead first appeared 
in an American newspaper in 18G7. 

Cotton is King; or, Slavery in the Light of Political 
Economy. 

This is the title of a book by David Christy (1855). 
The expression "Cotton is king" was used by James Henry Ham- 
mond in the United States Senate, March, 1858. 

Dead as Chelsea. 

To get Chelsea : to obtain the benefit of that hospital. " Dead as Chel- 
sea, by God ! " an exclamation uttered by a grenadier at Fontenoy,. 
on having his leg carried awav by a cannon-ball. — Dictionary of 
the Vulgar Tongue, 1758 (quoted by Brady, "Varieties of Litera- 
ture." 1826). 

Die in the last ditch. 

To William of Orange may be ascribed this saying. When Bucking- 
ham urged the inevitable destruction which hung over the United: 
Provinces, and asked him whether he did not see that the common- 
wealth was ruined, "There is one certain means." replied the Prince, 
"by which I can be sure never to see my country's ruin, — I will die 
in the last ditch." — Hume : History of England. (1622.)

Dr. William Drennan (1754-1820) says this expression was first used 
in a part_v song called " Erin, to her own Tune," written in 1795. 
The song appears to have been anonymous. 

Era of good feeling. 

The title of an article in the "Boston Centinel," July 12, 1817. 

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. 

It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a 
prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given lib- 
erty to man is eternal vigilance ; which condition if he break, servi- 

• tude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment 
of his guilt. — John Philpot Curkan : Speech upon the Right of 
Election, 1790. (Speeches. Dublin, 1808.)

Gentle craft. 

According to Brady (" Clavis Calendaria "), this designation arose 
from the fact that in an old romance a prince of the name of Cris- 
pin is made to exercise, in honour of his namesake. Saint Crispin, the 
trade of shoemaking. There is a tradition that King Edward IV., 
in one of his disguises, once drank with a party of shoemakers, and 
pledged them. The story is alluded to in the old play of "George 
a-Greene" (1599): — 

Marry, because you have drank with the King, 
And the King hath so graciously pledged you, 
You shall no more be called shoemakers •, 
But you and yours, to the world's end, 
Shall be called the trade of the gentle craft.

Hobson's choice. 

Tobias Hobson (died 1630) was the first man in England that let out 
hackney horses. When a man came for a horse he was led into the 
stable, where there was a great choice, but he obliged him to take 
the horse which stood next to the stable-door ; so that every cu>- 
tomer was alike well served according to his chance, — from whence 
it became a proverb when what ought to be } T our election was forced 
upon you, to say, '-Hobson's choice." — Spectator, No. 509. 
Where to elect there is but one, 
T is Hobson's choice, — take that or none.

Intolerable in Almighty God to a black beetle. 

. Lord Coleridge remarked that Maule told him what he said in the 
"black beetle" matter: *r Creswell, who had been his pupil, was on 
the other side in a case where he was counsel, and was very lofty 
in his manner. Maule appealed to the court: 'My lords, we are 
vertebrate animals, we are mammalia! My learned friend's manner 
would be intolerable in Almighty God to a black beetle.' " (Repeated 
to a member of the legal profession in the United States.) 

It is a far cry to Lochow. 

Lochow and the adjacent districts formed the original seat of the

Nation of shopkeepers. 

From au oration purporting to have been delivered by Samuel Adams 
at the State House in Philadelphia, Aug. 1, 1776. (Philadelphia, 
printed ; London, reprinted for E. Johnson, No. 4 Ludgate Hill, 1776.) 
W. V. Wells, in his Life of Adams, says : " No such American edi- 
tion has ever been seen, but at least four copies are known of the 
London issue. A German translation of this oration was printed in 
1778, perhaps at Berne; the place of publication is not given." 

To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of 
customers may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of 
shopkeepers. — Adam Smith : Wealth of Nations, vol. ii. book w. 
chap. vii. part 3. (1775.) 

And what is true of a shopkeeper is true of a shopkeeping nation. —

Nothing succeeds like success. 

(Rien ne reussit comme le succes. —Dumas: Ange Pitou, vol. i. p. 72, 
1854.) A French proverb. 

Orthodoxy is my doxy; Heterodoxy is another man's 
doxy. 

"I have heard frequent use," said the late Lord Sandwich, in a debate 
on the Test Laws, "of the words 'orthodoxy' and 'heterodoxy;' 
but I confess myself at a loss to know precisely what they mean." 
"Orthodoxy, my Lord," said Bishop Warburton, in a whisper,— 
"orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is another man's doxy." — 
Priestley: Memoirs, vol. i.p. 572. 

Paradise of fools ; Fool's paradise. 

The earliest instance of this expression is found in William Bullein'8 
"Dialogue," p. 28 (1573). It is used by Shakespeare, Middleton, 
Milton, Pope, Fielding, Crabbe, and others. 

Paying through the nose. 

Grimm says that Odin had a poll-tax which wn<= called in Sweden 8 
nose-tax; it was a penny per nose, or poll. — Deutsche Rechts Alter

APPENDIX. 1051 

Public trusts. 

It is not tit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any till 
they are first proved, and found tit for the business they are to be 
intrusted with. — Mathew Henry: Commentaries, Tinu.thy Hi. 

To execute laws is a royal office; to execute orders is not to be a king. 
However, a political executive magistracy, thougti merely such, is a 
great trust. — Burke : On the French Revolution. 

"When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as 
public property. — Thomas Jeffekson ("Winter in Washington, 
1807"), in a conversation with Baron Humboldt. See Rayner's 
"Life of Jefferson," p. 356 (Boston, 1831). 

The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices 
as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for 
the benefit of an individual or a party.— John C. Calhoun : Speech, 
July 13, 1835. 

The phrase, "public office is a public trust," has of late become com- 
mon property. — Charles Sumner (May 31, 1872). 

The appointing power of the pope is treated as a public trust. — W. W. 
Crapo (1881). 

The public offices are a public trust. — Dorman B. Eaton (1881). 

Public office is a public trusr. — Abram S. Hewitt (1883).

Scotland. It is also the title of one of Wordsworth's poems. 

Rowland for an Oliver. 

These were two of the most famous in the list of Charlemagne's twelve 
peers ; and their exploits are rendered so ridiculously and equally 
extravagant by the old romancers, that from thence arose that say- 
ing amongst our plain and sensible ancestors of giving one a "Row- 
land for hi" Oliver," to sisrnify the matching one incredible lie with 
another. — Thomas Warburton. 



1052 APPENDIX. 

Sardonic smile. 

The island of Sardinia, consisting chiefly of marshes and mountains, 
has from the earnest period to the present heen cursed with a noxious 
air, an ill-cultivated soil, and a scanty population. The convulsions 
produced by its poisonous plants gave rise to the expression of sar- 
donic smile, which is as old as Homer (Odyssey, xx. 302). — Mahon: 
History of En <j land, vol. i. p. 287. 

The explanation given by Mahon of the meaning of "sardonic smile" 
is to be sure the traditional one, and was believed in by the late 
classical writers. But in the Homeric passage referred to, the word 
is "sardcmion " (aapSduioi/), not " sardonion." There is no evidence 
that Sardinia was known to the composers of what we call Homer. 
It looks as though the word was to be connected with the verb o-aipco, 
"show the teeth;" "grin like a dog;" hence that the "sardonic 
smile" was a "grim laugh." — M. H. Morgan. 

Sister Anne, do you see any one coming ?

Stone-wall Jackson. 

This saying took its rise from the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1801. 
Said General Bernard E. Bee, "See, there is Jackson, standing like 
a stone-wall." 

The King is dead ! Long live the King ! 

The death of Louis XIV. was announced by the captain of the body> 
guard from a window of the state apartment. Raising his truncheon 
above his head, he broke it in the centre, and throwing the pieces 
among the crowd, exclaimed in a loud voice, " Le Roi est mort !" 
Then seizing another staff, he flourished it in the air as he shouted, 
" Vive le Roi ! " — Pardoe : Life of Louis XIV., vol. m. p. 457. 

The woods are full of them ! 

Alexander "Wilson, in the Preface to his "American Ornithology" 
(1808), quotes these words, and relates the story of a boy who had 
been gathering flowers. On bringing them to his mother, he said : 
"Look, my dear ma! What beautiful flowers I have found grow- 
ing in our place! Why, all the woods are full of them! " 

Thin red line. 

The Russians dashed on towards that thin red-line streak tipped with
